Final answer:

The typical speed limit for urban or town roads is 50 km/h or approximately 31 mph, with some leeway for accuracy in speedometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed limit on urban or town roads, unless indicated otherwise, is typically around 50 kilometers per hour, which is about 31 miles per hour. This is considered a standard speed for residential or urban areas to ensure the safety of both drivers and pedestrians.

When crossing the road, you should be quick enough to cover a distance of at least 4 meters (2 meters more than the width of a car) before a car traveling at the speed limit reaches you. Urban speed limits are designed to reduce the risk of accidents and are enforced to encourage safe driving habits.

While a small amount of leeway (around 1-2 miles per hour) is often accounted for in speed enforcement, consistently exceeding these limits by larger margins can result in traffic violations.
