minimum speed
Lowest permitted velocity
Minimum speed is the lowest velocity allowed or required in a given context.
Traffic signs may post a minimum speed to keep slower vehicles from impeding flow: The highway minimum speed is 45 mph.
In aviation and physics, minimum speed often refers to the threshold below which a vehicle stalls or loses stability.
