COMMUNITY SAFETY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO WE ENFORCE SPEED LIMITS IN OUT COMMUNITY? We have several mobile radar devices that we place every day throughout the community. These devices record the speed each vehicle is traveling at, and take photos of all vehicles traveling over the speed limit of the community (25 mph). We greatly appreciate the efforts of all residents and vendors to maintain a safe speed while on property, especially during the holiday season, with guest and family members. Our mission is not to be punitive, but to stop motorist from speeding for the safety of all of the members in the community. IS FRENCHMAN’S CREEK DRIVE AND TOURNAMENT DRIVE ONE OR TWO LANES ? These two roadways are SINGLE LANE roads. They are very wide to accommodate pedestrians, cyclists, golf carts, maintenance personnel or security/emergency vehicles. Vehicles should travel in the center of the roadways until they need to move over to accommodate for pedestrians, cyclists, golf carts, maintenance personnel or security/emergency vehicles. There is NO PASSING LANE on Frenchman’s Creek roadways.

DO PEDESTRIANS WALK FACING TRAFFIC?

The safe way to walk is facing traffic so you have a visual of the cars ahead of you. Please remember, and remind all guests, that pedestrians walk facing traffic on the curb side of the road and cyclists ride with traffic while on property. Security staff will be educating guests they encounter walking or cycling in the wrong direction to keep us all on the same page. These encounters typically occur during the holiday season, when guests and relatives are present and are either unaware of the rules or forgot about them.

WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 GOLF CART SAFETY CONCERNS? #1 - Underage drivers driving carts In order to keep our children and/or grandchildren safe, it is extremely important they have a driver’s license prior to being allowed to drive a golf cart on property. Should we encounter underage or non-licensed golf cart drivers, we will have them park the cart, provide them transportation to their destination and contact the resident. Please help us by educating your guests and family members of this very important rule. #2 - Overloading Golf Carts and children standing on the back of carts We understand that during the holidays, you may have a large number of family and/or friends visiting at your home. We are all thankful for the opportunity for family and friends to visit. However, this can create situations where you may not have enough golf carts for family/friends to travel on property. We encourage you to contact the golf shop ahead of time and rent a cart while your family/ friends are in town. This helps reduce the situation where guests overload a golf cart to travel on property. Many bad things can happen with children sitting on the laps of adults or standing on the back of carts while driving down the road. You may transport as many people on your cart as can be

seated with their backside safely on the seat. #3 - Golf Carts not stopping at STOP Signs

This is a situation where the person driving the golf cart will pay the ultimate price, financially and possibly, physically. When a golf cart does not stop at an intersection where vehicle traffic exists, they will always lose the encounter. Eventually, the assumption that the other vehicle will stop or slow down will catch up with a driver that takes that risk on a daily basis. For your own safety and that of your passengers, please stop at all intersections with STOP Signs.
