Chapter 10.80 — PRIVATELY OWNED AND MAINTAINED ROADS

The city council finds and determines that the following are privately owned and maintained streets and parking areas which are generally held open for use of the public for purposes of vehicular traffic and which so connect with streets or highways that the public cannot determine that said privately owned and maintained roads are not public streets or highways:

All parking areas, lanes, aisles, driveways and streets lying between El Paseo on the south and Highway 111 on the north and the area commonly known as the Palm Desert Town Center with Highway 111 on the south and Fred Waring Drive on the north. (Ord. 257 § 1, 1981; Ord. 383 § 1, 1984)

The city council finds and determines, that so long as streets and parking areas named in Section 10.80.010 are not posted, it shall provide traffic law enforcement on said streets and parking areas and that said streets and parking areas shall be subject to all the provisions of this code and the Vehicle Code of the state of California and except as herein provided the city shall not be deemed to assume any responsibility or liability for the maintenance or care of said privately owned and maintained streets. (Ord. 257 § 1, 1981)

The city council finds and determines that there have been previously placed upon said privately owned and maintained streets and parking areas, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.32.010 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code and following study and recommendation of the traffic committee, traffic and parking signs, postings and markings.

It is the intention of the city council to continue in force and effect until changed as provided by law, those traffic and parking regulations heretofore imposed on said streets and parking areas pursuant to provisions of this code. All intersections, safety zones, crosswalks, red or green curb parking, loading or standing regulation markings, stop signs, traffic control signs, speed limit signs, slow signs, danger signs, caution signs, warning signs, and all other traffic control signs and devices, parking limit signs, roadway markings relative to traffic direction and control, heretofore so marked or posted as authorized by this code, and which have not been changed by action of the city council, shall so continue and shall be in force pursuant to the provision of this chapter and the Vehicle Code of the state of California's part of the traffic regulations of the city, until so modified. No person shall drive, stand or park a vehicle in violation thereof. (Ord. 257 § 1, 1981)
