What is the standard speed limit in a residential area in Nova Scotia unless posted otherwise?

In Nova Scotia, the standard speed limit in a residential area is 50 km/h unless otherwise posted. This speed limit is set to ensure safety in areas where there are likely to be pedestrians, children playing, and other potential hazards. Maintaining a speed of 50 km/h allows drivers to have adequate reaction time to respond to unexpected situations, such as sudden stops or pedestrians darting into the roadway. Additionally, this limit promotes a balance between mobility and safety in locales with frequent foot traffic.

Other options reflect either lower speed limits that might be applicable in very specific conditions or areas, but the established standard for most residential zones is 50 km/h, providing a clear guideline that residents and drivers can expect.
