Prima Facie literally means "on it's first appearance"...it's the requirement that you are to follow in the first instance with no other overriding circumstances...

In California the Prima Facie limits are defined in each state's vehicle codes. For instance, in California 15mph limits are assumed when traversing a railway grade crossing and your visibility is limited, when visibility if obstructed near and intersection, in Alleys, etc...

Hope this helps,

When there are no speed limit signs for driving in a residential district what is the speed limit?

Generally around 25MPH depending on the area, this will vary (usually between 15 and 35 MPH), but the mean residential speed limit is 25MPH. The prima facie speed limit for residential areas is 25 miles per hour, and most residential areas reinforce this limit with posted signs displaying the 25-mile per hour limit. However, some roadways in sparsely populated residential areas may be posted at the higher limit of 35 miles per hour. Unless you observe a sign that indicates otherwise, you should adhere to the prima facie limit.
