According to the manual, how low can a posted work area speed limit be set?
-
A.
20 mph
-
B.
35 mph
-
C.
25 mph Correct
-
D.
15 mph
The answer is "25 mph"
A work area speed limit can be posted as low as 25 mph. The 35 figure comes from substituting a common secondary-road number for the work zone floor the manual actually names.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 20 mph
The manual names 25 mph, not 20, as the lowest posted work area speed. This answer rounds the printed figure down toward a familiar residential value.
B. 35 mph
35 mph is not the floor the manual names for work areas. This answer substitutes a common secondary-road speed for the work zone minimum.
D. 15 mph
The manual does not name 15 mph as the work area floor. This answer reaches for a slow school-zone number when asked about a work zone.
