Whitewater River, the curved street alignment, narrowing, and lane loss in
the vicinity of Landau Boulevard, and the many residential lots and
driveways facing and accessing onto Vista Chino between Landau Boulevard
and Date Palm Drive.
b. For the above reasons, the prima facie speed limit on Vista Chino,
between Date Palm Drive and the west city limit is reduced to 50 m.p.h. ,
notwithstanding speed study results.
