What is the speed limit in a business area?

  1. 30 mph

  2. 25 mph

  3. 15 mph

  4. 35 mph

The correct answer is: 25 mph

In New Jersey, the speed limit in a business area is generally set at 25 mph. This limit is established to promote safety in areas with high pedestrian activity, businesses, and traffic due to the presence of shoppers, pedestrians, and delivery vehicles. The reduced speed allows drivers to react more swiftly to unforeseen obstacles or changes in traffic conditions that are common in bustling business districts. It's important for drivers to adhere to this speed limit to ensure the safety of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. Lower speed limits in business areas are part of a broader effort to create safer environments in places where people are likely to be walking or biking. By following the 25 mph limit in these areas, drivers contribute to a safer community overall.
