Hello. First let me say I hope this is an appropriate place/section for this topic, I can't find anywhere else to go to with the concerns I'll address in the thread.

So I just recently got my TIP, and will hopefully pass my road test and get my actual driver's license.

I've been practicing and don't have many issues, concerns, etc. but about the only thing that I just can't quite seem to get a grasp on is being able to know the speed limit of a road - more specifically when a speed limit sign hasn't been posted within a decent distance of say like right after turning onto a new road.

As far as I can tell, there are usually typical limits in regards to the type of area/road that are a general guide; school, residential, urban, suburban, business, rural, highway etc. But I just can't seem to be able to I guess properly identify/distinguish these areas sometimes, besides obvious ones like school, rural, highway etc.

So I'm just hoping somebody might have some advice, tips, knowledge etc. that could be of help. Thank you so much!

Edit: forgot to include I live in Lansing Michigan if that helps anything.
