Traffic signals keep things moving

My husband and I have discussed this same question recently. As stated earlier, Winchester Road is a state highway under the jurisdiction of Caltrans. When the mall was built, Caltrans required that incoming traffic from Winchester not be required to stop in order to prevent traffic backing up onto Winchester.

In an effort to keep things consistent, the city made the same request so as to not confuse drivers with different rules on different sides of the mall. When you enter The Promenade mall, remember, incoming traffic does not stop; traffic on the circular mall road does stop. Please drive safely.
