What is a "speed limit"?

A speed limit is the maximum or minimum speed that a vehicle is legally allowed to travel on a specific road or highway. The limit is set to ensure safety and smooth traffic flow. It can vary depending on factors like road type, location, and conditions such as construction zones or residential areas. Drivers are expected to follow these limits, adjusting their speed as needed for traffic, weather, or road conditions.

What are "traffic lights"?

Traffic lights are signaling devices used to control the flow of traffic at intersections. They typically have three colors: red, yellow, and green. Red means stop, yellow signals caution or prepare to stop, and green indicates go. These lights help prevent accidents by ensuring that vehicles and pedestrians move safely and in an organized manner. Traffic lights are often placed at busy intersections or areas where controlled movement is needed to manage traffic and pedestrian flow.
