Which traffic violation is described as 'Speed in zone'?

• A. Speed in zone
• B. Speed in work zone
• C. Driving too slowly/impeding traffic
• D. Unsafe backing

Answer: (A)

Speed in zone means you were driving faster than the posted limit for a defined area or zone, such as a residential, school, or business district. The signs set a specific speed for that zone, and exceeding it is the offense described as “speed in zone” on a ticket. This is different from speeding in a work zone (which applies specifically to construction or maintenance areas and often carries higher penalties), driving too slowly/impeding traffic (a separate violation for going well below the flow of traffic), or unsafe backing (another distinct violation). In this item, the phrase matches the act of exceeding the posted zone speed, making it the correct description.
