Question: What is the typical urban speed limit in Ontario unless otherwise posted?
Answer options:
- 40 km/h ✅ 50 km/h
- 60 km/h
- 70 km/h
Correct answer: 50 km/h
Explanation: Under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, the statutory speed limit is 50 km/h in any city, town, or built-up area unless signs indicate otherwise, which is why it is the correct answer. Lower limits such as 40 km/h are frequently implemented in school zones or community safety zones but are not the unposted default. Higher limits like 60 km/h and 70 km/h apply only where explicitly signed. On the G1 exam, memorizing the standard unposted limits—specifically 50 km/h for urban areas and 80 km/h for rural areas—is crucial for answering basic rules-of-the-road questions.
