What is the statutory speed limit in any Minnesota alley, unless otherwise posted?
The answer
Answer: C. Under Minnesota law, the maximum statutory speed limit in an alley is 10 miles per hour, unless a different limit is specifically posted. Driving slowly in alleys is critical because sightlines are severely restricted by fences, garages, dumpsters, and crossing children. Slow speeds allow motorists to stop abruptly if a pedestrian or emerging car appears from a concealed driveway.
