What is the maximum speed limit when driving at night?

The maximum speed limit when driving at night is set at 25 MPH as a safety measure to accommodate the reduced visibility and increased risks associated with nighttime driving. At night, distances can appear longer, and objects may be harder to see, making it more challenging for drivers to react to hazards. The lower speed limit is intended to give drivers more time to respond to unexpected situations, such as pedestrians, animals, or other vehicles that may be difficult to see in the dark.

This regulation aims to reduce the likelihood and severity of accidents occurring after dark, where the chances of encountering dangerous conditions are heightened. Maintaining a slower speed allows for a greater margin of error and helps ensure that drivers can navigate safely until they reach brighter areas or more populated zones.
