What is the designated speed limit for alleys?

The designated speed limit for alleys is 15 miles per hour. This speed limit is established to ensure the safety of pedestrians and cyclists, as alleys are typically narrower and may have more foot traffic than main roads. The lower speed limit allows drivers to react more easily to sudden obstacles, such as pedestrians stepping out from between parked vehicles or other unexpected situations. By maintaining a slower speed, drivers can help prevent accidents and ensure a safer environment for all users of the alley. Additionally, this regulation is consistent with the general principle of adjusting driving behavior according to the specific characteristics and conditions of the roadway.
