What speed limit does the Nevada manual list for urban freeways and rural highways?
-
A.
45 mph
-
B.
55 mph
-
C.
75 mph
-
D.
65 mph Correct
The answer is "65 mph"
The manual's speed-limit list ties 65 mph to two road types together: urban freeways and rural highways. It is easy to confuse this figure with the 45 mph reduced-speed-area figure below it or with the 70+ mph rural-interstate category above it. Rural interstate freeways sit in their own row.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 45 mph
45 mph is the manual's figure for reduced-speed areas going into towns, not for urban freeways or rural highways. This answer substitutes the 45 mph town-approach figure for the 65 mph freeway and rural-highway figure.
B. 55 mph
55 mph appears on the manual's list without a labeled road type in the extract; the manual does not attach it to urban freeways. This answer assumes an unlabeled 55 mph entry covers urban freeways when the manual assigns 65 mph to them.
C. 75 mph
The manual's list does not contain a 75 mph category; its highest category is 70+ mph for rural interstate freeways. This answer invents a 75 mph category the manual's speed-limit list does not print.
