When driving on any facility, what is the appropriate action regarding speed?

Drive as fast as possible
Follow the posted speed limit
Drive under the speed limit regardless of conditions
Speed up to avoid accidents

The correct answer is: Follow the posted speed limit

Following the posted speed limit is crucial for maintaining safety on any facility. The speed limit is established based on various factors including road conditions, traffic patterns, and safety considerations. Adhering to these limits helps prevent accidents and ensures that all drivers can navigate the area safely. Driving within the speed limit helps to maintain control of the vehicle and allows adequate reaction time for unexpected situations, such as pedestrians, road hazards, or other vehicles. Additionally, it promotes a safe environment for both drivers and pedestrians and contributes to the overall orderliness of traffic flow. Other choices would compromise safety. Driving as fast as possible disregards the risks and can lead to severe accidents. Driving under the speed limit regardless of conditions could impede traffic flow and create unsafe conditions for other drivers. Speeding up to avoid accidents misunderstands the nature of safe driving; speeding can actually increase the likelihood of accidents and their severity.
