The maximum speed limit on most California highways is 65 mph. You may drive 70 mph where posted. Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit is 55 mph on two-lane undivided highways and for vehicles towing trailers.Other speed limit signs are posted for the type of roads and traffic in each area. All speed limits are based on ideal driving conditions. Construction zones usually have reduced speed zones.
My perception is that the maximum speed limit is 55 mph on two-lane undivided highways. Is this correct?
Could you simplify the term unless otherwise in simple English?
Best Answer
Yes, you are right, that is what it means.
Unless means "if not". Otherwise means "in another way, differently". So unless otherwise posted will mean "if nothing else is posted", "if nothing else is indicated", "if there are no other signs".
