What is the maximum speed limit in urban areas unless otherwise posted?

In urban areas of Saskatchewan, the maximum speed limit is set at 50 km/h unless a different limit is posted. This regulation is in place to enhance safety for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. The rationale behind this speed limit is that urban areas are often more densely populated with greater traffic, more junctions, and various hazards that can increase the likelihood of accidents. Lower speed limits help reduce the severity of collisions and provide drivers with more time to react to sudden changes in their environment, such as children crossing the street or vehicles turning unexpectedly.

The other speed limits presented are either too low or not reflective of the standard speed regulation in typical urban settings within Saskatchewan.
