Sample question from test 2
speed
The Mississippi manual says posted speed limits are intended for what conditions?
- Ideal conditions, with slower driving required when weather, visibility, traffic, or road design demands it
- Nighttime conditions only, because daytime traffic is unrestricted
- Only dry pavement with no traffic nearby
- Any condition, because a posted number never needs adjustment
Answer: Ideal conditions, with slower driving required when weather, visibility, traffic, or road design demands it. Posted limits are benchmarks for ideal conditions, not permission to keep the same speed through every hazard. The manual directs drivers to reduce speed on curves, near intersections, narrow or twisting roads, congestion, poor weather, and limited visibility. The fourth choice ignores that instruction. Use the sign and roadway situation together: a lower posted limit controls, while bad conditions may require going slower still.
