Question: What is the default speed limit on an unposted highway in British Columbia?

Answer options:

  • 60 km/h
  • 70 km/h ✅ 80 km/h
  • 100 km/h

Correct answer: 80 km/h

Explanation: The correct answer is 80 km/h because the British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act establishes this as the default statutory speed limit for unposted highways outside a municipality. In contrast, 60 km/h, 70 km/h, and 100 km/h are incorrect because they are not the blanket default highway limits under BC law, even if higher limits like 100 km/h are often posted on major freeways. The underlying rule dictates a default of 50 km/h inside municipalities and 80 km/h outside them unless signs state otherwise. This distinction is highly relevant for the ICBC exam, where scenarios involving unposted speed limits are frequently tested.
