What is the maximum speed limit in urban areas unless otherwise indicated?

In urban areas in Newfoundland and Labrador, the maximum speed limit is typically set at 50 km/h, unless indicated otherwise by posted signs. This regulation is designed to enhance safety in populated areas where there is a higher likelihood of pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles being present. A speed limit of 50 km/h is generally recognized as a balance between allowing for the efficient flow of traffic while also ensuring the safety of all road users. This limit is enforceable, and exceeding it could result in penalties.

The other options suggest lower or higher speeds, which do not align with the established norms for urban speed limits in this province. For instance, a limit of 30 km/h is more commonly seen in specific zones, like school areas or residential streets, rather than as a blanket urban limit. Similarly, limits of 60 km/h and 80 km/h are typically reserved for certain conditions or rural zones, where the dynamics of road use differ vastly from the more congested urban environment.
