Laws and paperwork
On a Maryland road with no speed limit sign, what should you assume?
- There is no speed limit
- You must obey whatever speed feels safe with no legal maximum
- There is always a legally posted maximum that applies to that road, and if unclear you should drive conservatively for conditions
Show answer and explanation
There is always a legally posted maximum that applies to that road, and if unclear you should drive conservatively for conditions. The manual repeatedly stresses that the posted sign controls the legal maximum speed and drivers must adjust downward for conditions rather than relying on a fixed number.
