Motorists driving along El Camino Real are advised to pay attention to new speed limits in the downtown area.
Amid complaints from merchants about drivers posing a danger to others as they speed past businesses, City Council members this week lowered the speed limit between El Portal and Avenida Valencia from 35 mph to 30 mph.
Akram Hindiyeh, a city civil engineer, said there are some speeding problems in the area, but reports of accidents are very low.
A traffic survey conducted by the city shows that motorists traveling through this section of El Camino Real typically drive between 26.3 mph and 34.8 mph.
