Sample question from test 1
speed
Who may set a different speed limit within a Missouri city, town, or village?
- Only the federal government
- The local government, through an ordinance
- Only the Missouri Highway Patrol
- No authority may change the statewide limit
Answer: The local government, through an ordinance. Missouri gives local governments a role in traffic control beyond state laws. A city, town, or village may set speed limits through its own ordinance, so a driver must read the posted sign instead of assuming the general statewide rule applies. The federal government does not set ordinary local street limits, and the Highway Patrol is not the only authority involved. As a practical cue, treat a municipal speed sign as legally binding even when it differs from a familiar number elsewhere in the state.
