Great news! Traffic speeds are being reduced in and around Sunrise Park.
Great news! Traffic speeds are being reduced in and around Sunrise Park.
Neighbors in Sunrise Park and other neighborhoods in Palm Springs have expressed concerns about traffic speeds in and around our neighborhood. In an effort to reduce the number of traffic collisions and fatalities in the city, thirty-six segments of local streets are set to have reduced speed limits. Most of the street segments will have speed limits lowered by 5 mph, while a few street segments will be reduced by 10 or 15 mph.
The roads in and around Sunrise Park with speed limits reductions are:
- Alejo Road from Sunrise Way to Farrell Drive (45 mph to 40 mph)
- Amado Road from Sunrise Way to Farrell Drive (40 mph to 35 mph)
- Baristo Road from Sunrise Way to Farrell Drive (40 mph to 35 mph)
- Baristo Road from Farrell Drive to El Cielo Road (40 mph to 35 mph)
- Farrell Drive from Alejo Road to Ramon Road (45 mph to 40 mph)
These changes were made possible with the passage of a bill last year that gives California cities more flexibility to target speeding in unsafe areas.
