Explanation
Speeding is against the law. You must always obey the speed limit, and it is your responsibility to know the speed limit wherever you are driving. Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in Florida is 30 mph in business, residential, or municipal areas.
If a regulatory sign shows a different speed, you must obey the posted limit. Remember: speed limits indicate the maximum speed allowed under ideal conditions. You are responsible for adjusting your speed based on weather, road, and traffic conditions to ensure safe driving.
