Independent practice site. We're not the DMV and aren't connected to any government agency.
No sign is posted. What is the speed limit on an ordinary two-lane highway outside town?
The rule
Unless signs post another limit, Florida streets and highways outside towns and off the limited-access system have a 55 mph limit.
Unless a sign shows another limit, Florida streets and highways outside towns are 55 mph. Limited-access highways are 70 mph.
From the Official Florida Driver License Handbook, page 68. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
