On some rural New York expressways, what is the highest speed limit that may be posted?
-
A.
55 mph
-
B.
65 mph Correct
-
C.
60 mph
-
D.
70 mph
The answer is "65 mph"
The manual permits 65 mph as the highest posted expressway limit, and only in some rural areas. D imports a familiar western-state interstate speed into a New York question in place of the printed figure.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 55 mph
55 mph is the normal limit, not the highest posted rural figure the manual gives. This answer stops at the standard number and never reaches the rural exception paragraph.
C. 60 mph
The manual does not list a 60 mph posted expressway limit anywhere. This answer splits the difference between two figures instead of picking the one printed.
D. 70 mph
The manual caps rural expressway posting at 65 mph, not 70. This answer carries a common western-state interstate speed into a New York question.
