What is the maximum speed limit on Nebraska's rural interstate highways?
- A. 70 mph
- B. 75 mph
- C. 65 mph
- D. 80 mph
Show answer
B. 75 mph — Nebraska's rural interstates (I-80, I-29, I-76) have a maximum posted speed of 75 mph. Urban interstate segments in Omaha and Lincoln are typically 65 mph. Nebraska's long, flat I-80 corridor is heavily trafficked by semi-trucks; maintaining safe speed and following distance is especially important when sharing the road with large commercial vehicles. Residential streets default to 25 mph; school zones to 25 mph.

In Nebraska, the typical speed limit in a school zone when children are present is:
- A. The same as the adjacent roadway if no sign is posted
- B. 25 mph, or as posted by local authorities
- C. 20 mph
- D. 15 mph at all times near a school
Show answer
B. 25 mph, or as posted by local authorities — Nebraska school zones are typically posted at 25 mph when children are present or when the flashing signal is active, though local authorities may set lower limits. All drivers must stop for school buses with flashing red lights from both directions on undivided roads; on divided highways with a physical barrier, only same-direction traffic must stop. School zone speeding carries enhanced fines under Nebraska law.
