Driving a government vehicle or a privately-owned vehicle (POV) within NAWS China Lake gates is a privilege and requires that you follow NAWS' policies and rules for operating a vehicle while onboard the installation:
- All vehicles driven onboard Station must be properly registered and have insurance.
- The China Lake Police Department enforces all California Motor Vehicle laws.
- Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit onboard NAWS is 25 mph.
- Cell phones will not be operated by the driver of an automobile unless in “hands-free” mode.
- The Navy and the Department of Defense take motorcycle safety very seriously. Riders onboard the Station must take part in a motorcycle rider safety class.
