Exercise and Discuss:

Every street, road and highway has a speed limit for
cars and vehicles. Streets in residential areas, where
people and children walk, have a slower speed limit
while highways, which have less people traffic,

allow higher speeds for vehicles. So, while people
are free to drive, they must do so within a speed limit.

If there were no decided speed limit, there would be
more accidents and a threat to pedestrians as well as

other vehicles.
