What is the posted speed limit on Massachusetts highways under ideal driving conditions?

  1. 30 to 40 MPH

  2. 40 to 50 MPH

  3. 50 to 65 MPH

  4. Above 65 MPH

The correct answer is: 50 to 65 MPH

The posted speed limit on Massachusetts highways under ideal driving conditions typically ranges from 50 to 65 miles per hour. This range is set to ensure safety while allowing for efficient travel along major roadways. Highways are designed for higher speeds, hence the limits reflect the capacity of the roads and the type of traffic that is expected. In Massachusetts, traffic regulations prioritize both safety and efficiency, and the speed limits are established based on roadway design, traffic patterns, and other factors that contribute to safe driving. The lower and higher ranges of speed limits are generally found on local roads, residential areas, or specific zones where conditions may require reduced speeds, such as in construction zones or near schools.
