What is the speed limit in business districts?

20 miles per hour
25 miles per hour
30 miles per hour
35 miles per hour

The correct answer is: 25 miles per hour

In Delaware, the established speed limit in business districts is 25 miles per hour. This speed limit is designed to ensure the safety of pedestrians and reduce the risk of accidents in areas where there is a higher concentration of vehicle and pedestrian traffic, such as near shops, offices, and other establishments. By setting a speed limit of 25 miles per hour, the law acknowledges that business districts often have more activities occurring, including shoppers crossing streets, delivery vehicles frequently entering and exiting, and various other interactions that can increase the potential for collisions. Maintaining this speed limit helps to create a safer environment for everyone in these bustling areas, as slower speeds give drivers more time to react to sudden movements from pedestrians or unexpected obstacles. Furthermore, speed limits generally reflect the conditions of roads in those areas, reinforcing the need for caution and awareness.
