- B 20 mph
- C 30 mph

Where signs mark a reduced-speed school zone, what is Wyoming's statutory school zone speed limit?
- A 15 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 20 mph
- D 30 mph
Show answer
C. 20 mph
Wyoming law sets a 20 mph maximum when passing a school, or in a school zone or school crossing marked with signs giving notice of the reduced limit. Drive even slower when conditions call for it, because children can dart into the road without warning.

Wyoming's default limits are 80 or 75 mph on Interstates, 70 mph on secondary highways and 30 mph in towns. Posted signs override these, and you must still slow down for conditions.

Trees and buildings block your view of cross traffic at an intersection ahead. What is the most you should be going as you approach?
- A 25 mph
- B 20 mph
- C 30 mph

The Wyoming manual says to approach a 'blind' intersection at no more than 15 mph. When you cannot see cross traffic, you need a speed that lets you stop if a vehicle suddenly appears.
