Prima facie limits are considered by law to be safe and prudent under normal conditions. This lower speed limit allows for a greater reaction time and shorter necessary stopping distance to avoid a hazard in the roadway. A residential district is determined by the width of the roadway and the density of adjacent residential development. Some residential streets may have a speed limit greater than the 25 mph prima facie speed limit because of the functional use of the street, the adjacent land use, the width of the street, or a previously set speed limit based on a radar survey. Watch for and yield to pedestrians in the roadway .
Pedestrians are commonly present in residential neighborhoods.
Plan your trips . Combine your trips into a single trip with several destinations to reduce congestion and the urge to drive fast. As a parent, set a good example for your children. Children often learn by watching and imitating their parents. Your actions as a driver, pedestrian or bicyclist should always set a good example.
