What is the speed limit in residential areas unless otherwise posted?

In residential areas in Puerto Rico, the standard speed limit is set at 25 miles per hour unless otherwise indicated by posted signs. This regulation is intended to enhance safety for pedestrians, children playing, and residents in these communities. Lowering the speed limit in these zones helps to reduce the risk and severity of accidents. While it is common to see other speeds mentioned in various contexts, the 25 mph limit is established as a compromise between efficient traffic flow and the need for safety in populated areas. Adhering to this limit is crucial for drivers to ensure the well-being of all road users, especially in environments where visibility and reaction time may be compromised due to various obstacles and should be taken seriously.
