Observing speed limits means more than driving faster or slower than the posted speed. When you encounter icy roads, drive through rain or fog, and approach heavy traffic or constructions zones, follow these tips:

  • Look for pavement markings to guide you.
  • Watch for signs alerting you of reduced speed limits ahead.
