Road Signs
You are driving in a small Ontario town and see no posted speed-limit signs. What is the maximum legal speed you can drive?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. 50 km/h
Ontario's default unposted maximum is 50 km/h inside cities, towns and villages. Higher speeds in built-up areas are dangerous to pedestrians and children: a pedestrian struck at 50 km/h has roughly 10× the fatality risk of one struck at 30 km/h.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.30 km/h30 km/h applies to school and playground zones when signed, not to the general unposted urban default.
- C.60 km/h60 km/h is not the Ontario unposted default; it is a typical posted limit on some collector roads but requires a sign to be enforceable.
- D.80 km/h80 km/h is the unposted maximum outside cities, towns and villages — not within them.
