- B. 55 mph
- C. 70 mph

D. 75 mph — Arizona's rural interstate highways have a default maximum speed limit of 75 mph. Urban freeways (within metro areas such as Phoenix and Tucson) default to 65 mph. Residential and business districts default to 25 mph, and school zones to 15 mph. Posted signs always override default limits, and drivers must always travel at a speed that is safe for current road and weather conditions regardless of the posted limit.

Report a problemAt an uncontrolled T-intersection in Arizona, which driver must yield?
- A. Both drivers must stop and wait for a traffic signal
- B. The driver approaching from the right always has priority
- C. The driver on the terminating road must yield to drivers on the through road
- D. The driver on the through road yields to the terminating road
Show answer
C. The driver on the terminating road must yield to drivers on the through road — At a T-intersection where no signs or signals control traffic, the driver on the road that ends (the stem of the T) must yield to all drivers on the through road. Arizona law follows this general right-of-way rule for intersections where one road terminates.
