SANDPIPER SPEED LIMIT
– A REMINDER
Larry Alberts
The speed limit within our community is 20 MPH. A board member has been in the community with a radar gun and did not catch anyone going more than a few miles over the speed limit. A resident, who has also expressed concern about speeding, borrowed the radar gun and found the same result. ALSO, we do have a police presence in Sandpiper on a weekly basis doing radar checks, and they have told the Board that only one ticket has been issued in the last six months.
While we have made numerous attempts and will continue to attempt to control speeding in Sandpiper, it is difficult to catch everyone abusing the speed limit without 24-hour surveillance.
When walking, remember to walk on the left side of the street, FACING oncoming cars. When biking, ride on the right side WITH the vehicles. Also, wear white or reflective clothing, use red flashers or a light to be more visible, especially at dawn, dusk, or in the dark.
