What speed limit is indicated on the sign for vehicles exiting the highway?

The indicated speed limit for vehicles exiting the highway is often set at a lower speed to ensure safe maneuvering as drivers transition onto local roads. A limit of 35 mph is a common regulation in many areas, particularly as vehicles leave a highway where they are accustomed to higher speeds. This speed allows drivers to safely navigate turns, adjust their speed for approaching intersections, and react to any potential pedestrian or traffic conditions they might encounter on the local road.

As for the other options, limits such as 25 mph are usually reserved for particularly residential or pedestrian-heavy areas; 45 mph generally suggests a higher speed zone still potentially on major roads; and 55 mph is typical of main highways rather than exit ramps or the roads immediately after exiting. Thus, the choice of 35 mph balance the need for safety with efficiency during the transition from higher-speed travel to more controlled conditions.
