In business and residential districts, what is the typical speed limit?

In built-up areas like business and residential streets, the speed limit is set to protect pedestrians and reduce crash risk. The typical limit there is 50 km/h in Nova Scotia unless a sign shows a different number. Driving at this pace gives you more time to notice people, parked cars, and driveways, and it reduces the severity of any crashes that occur. Always watch for posted signs because some streets may be slower near schools or construction zones, and other areas may have higher limits on main roads.
