Answer :
Final answer:
The maximum speed limit on paved highways without posted signs varies by local traffic laws. While de facto speeds might be higher, compliance with de jure (legal) speed limits is advised for safety and to avoid legal issues.
Explanation:
The maximum speed limit on paved highways, barring the presence of any specific signage, varies by jurisdiction. The Trans Canada Highway, being a major thoroughfare, typically has its own set of regulated speed limits, which are posted and enforced differently than other highways. When a speed limit is not posted on other highways, the maximum speed is generally understood by the de jure (legal) limit set forth by local traffic laws. However, the de facto speed limit, the speed at which you are likely to be pulled over by police, can be somewhat higher than the posted limit but should not be relied upon due to legal and safety reasons.
