<div>I wonder if 15 mph in a school zone and 25 mph in a
residential area are some sort of federal standard? The
source tag might be useful but not much different than
other states.</div>

i doubt it. 30 mph residential is as common as 25 mph, and in my
experience<br>
it's a statute of the local municipality that imposes the limit.<br>
<br>
the default speed limit in NYS for unposted roads is 55mph,
irrespective<br>
of surface type. other states vary; there's a page in the OSM wiki
about it.<br>
