Question: In British Columbia, what speed rule applies in a residential street with no posted limit?
Answer options:
- Standard 50 km/h applies ✅ the limit is 50 km/h
- There is no specific rule
- Posted speed always applies
Correct answer: the limit is 50 km/h
Explanation: Under the British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act, the default statutory speed limit inside any municipality is 50 km/h. Therefore, the limit is 50 km/h in residential areas when no signs are posted. The option claiming the posted speed always applies is incorrect because statutory defaults dictate speed when signs are absent, and there is a very specific rule governing these areas. Though similar in phrasing, the specific official ICBC test answer is that the limit is 50 km/h. Remembering this default municipal limit, alongside the 80 km/h rural default, is highly relevant for passing the Class 7 knowledge exam.
