The maximum speed limit for second division vehicles is
55 mph. You may drive at the maximum allowable speed only
under safe conditions. For safety purposes, a minimum
speed limit may be posted along certain roadways. When
minimum limits are not posted, drivers should not drive
so much slower than the maximum limit that they interfere
with the normal movement of traffic.
The driver must take care to slow down when approaching
and crossing an intersection. Care also must be taken
when going around a curve, approaching the top of a hill
or traveling on a narrow and winding roadway. Drivers
must be aware that there may always be dangers present
due to pedestrians, traffic, weather, mechanical problems
or road conditions.
