Everywhere I have lived (five different states), a MOTOR vehicle is required to maintain a 25mph MINIMUM speed on the roads. Scooters/mopeds, as well as biks, because they are not required to be licensed/registered, is not.
Also, the "REQUIREMENT" to ride on the road is not universal, either; several cities allow sidewalk riding (a source of must controversy here on BF).
Don't know about other states but I don't think that is true in AZ. That said, I often drive less than 25mph on residential streets. The reason being parked cars and playing children. Some of the minor arteries make it unsafe to drive over 25 for the same reason.
