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.

Difference between actual duties and prima facie duties?

"According to W. D. Ross (1877-1971), there are several prima facie duties that we can use to determine what, concretely, we ought to do. A prima facie duty is a duty that is binding (obligatory) other things equal, that is, unless it is overridden or trumped by another duty or duties. Another way of putting it is that where there is a prima facie duty to do something, there is at least a fairly strong presumption in favor of doing it. An example of a prima facie duty is the duty to keep promises. "Unless stronger moral considerations override, one ought to keep a promise made."By contrast with prima facie duties, our actual or concrete duty is the duty we should perform in the particular situation of choice. Whatever one's actual duty is, one is morally bound to perform it. Prima facie duties relate to actual duties as reasons do to conclusions of reasoning.Note: The term "duty" in "prima facie duty" is slightly misleading. The prima facie duties are understood as guidelines, not rules without exception. If an action does not correspond to a specific guideline, one is not necessarily violating a rule that one ought to follow. However, not following the rule one ought to follow in a particular case is failing to do one's (actual) duty. In such cases it makes sense to talk about violating a rule. The rule might be the same in words as a prima facie duty (minus the phrase "unless other moral considerations override"), but it would no longer be merely a guideline because it describes what one concretely should do."


What does prima facie mean?

It means "at first sight or "first view." As a legal term "prima facie" means "immediately apparent"- it refers to evidence that directly suggests a factual connection, such as the guilt of the accused. This evidence may be rebutted and in some cases could yield an erroneous conclusion.
