While driving in a residential area, the speed limit is 25 miles per hour. No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons and property. Lets break this down to the nuts and bolts. A vehicle is a device by which any person or property may be propelled, moved, or driven upon a highway, excepting a device moved exclusively by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks. A highway is a way or place of whatever nature, publicly maintained and open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel.
Highway includes street.
And at no time shall a person drive their vehicle at a speed which endangers the safety of persons and property. This part needs no explanation. To ensure that you do not receive a citation, do not exceed 25 mph in a residential zone. However, before a deputy will issue you a citation for speeding in a residential zone he must be able to show that you are driving at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons and property. So the bottom line here is, if you drive 25 to 30 mph, you are less likely to get a citation.
