New state law authorizes lowering speed limits in school zones down to 20 MPH

A new state law may be bringing slower speeds to school zones in California. 

Assembly Bill 382 allows local authorities to lower the school zone speed limit from 25 to 20 miles per hour by ordinance or resolution through January 1, 2031. After this date, the speed limit will automatically decrease from 25 to 20 miles per hour in school zones when proper signage is posted.

As of today, there are no announcements regarding lowered speed limits in the Morongo Basin.
