The speed limit for the street was less than 10 miles per hour, therefore the man was speeding, even though he was travelling very slowly. close

does it matter what the subdivision was?

was he riding a bicycle?

He was riding a bicycle, therefore going 10 miles per hour is against the law (over the bicycle speed limit), and the police officer fined him.
