What is the Florida speed limit?

I’m heading to the Sunshine State for a bit of R&R. Initially, I was just going to stay in one place, but now I want to travel around. In the past, I’ve had a bit of a lead foot, so I want to make sure I stay at a safe speed. What’s the speed limit in Florida?

If you want to travel safely and freely in the Sunshine State without getting a ticket, take note that the
Florida
speed limit is 70 mph, but only on certain stretches of the interstate.
Other speed limits you need to respect while going throughout Florida are:
  • 70 mph on rural state highways and 55 mph on urban state highways
  • 30 mph in business districts and residential areas unless otherwise posted
  • 20 mph in school zones
If you’re going to road-trip across Florida, you may as well consider
towing and labor coverage
