Speed limits in the 1920s varied greatly depending on date and region. At the start of the decade, most roads were still unpaved and two wheel brake systems kept speed limits low, about 10 to 20 miles per hour in towns and built up residential areas. On the open road, speed limits averaged 20 to 30 miles per hour. By 1930, however, roads had improved significantly and automobiles were becoming more sophisticated. Typical speed limits in 1930 were 20 to 35 mph in cities and towns and 40 to 50 on the new concrete highways.
