What is the maximum speed limit in a residential area if theres no sign?
The speed limit for/in residential areas is always 25mph unless otherwise stated, such as, you see a sign that says"15MPH Speed limit". Also school zones(areas near a school) are likely to have a sign saying something like "Speed Limit 15MPH while flashing", this means when the yellow lights on or right above the sign are flashing the speed limit is whatever it says. The only ways for the "while flashing" speed limit is to change(or be "ignored") is if there are police officers and/or crossing guards there directing traffic or if there is a car crash(this would depend on where it happened, how bad the car crash is, how many cars, and any danger zones(for example a car in flames) ).

At an intersection, a flashing circular yellow means to take extra caution, and watch for traffic on the cross road (which has a flashing red light). A flashing red light is the same as a stop sign. A flashing yellow arrow means you ma turn in the direction of the arrow, but you must yield to conflicting traffic. If the flashing yellow light is not at an intersection, it either calls attention to a road hazard on an accompanying sign, or indicates that a special regulation indicated on the sign is in effect (School speed limit 20 when flashing).

Recently a number of cities have been busted for shortening the yellow light times and collecting millions of dollars in fines for running red lights.
