Since I was this month’s designated board focus for 'speeding’ (which is interesting in and of itself since I was without a vehicle a decidedly good portion on the month) I decided to go straight to the source for answers to my questions. BELOW IS THE EMAIL I SENT OUR GPD COMMUNITY LIAISON.
Good afternoon,
I live in Turkey Creek Forest. Every now and again the issue of speeding, stop signs, and ticketing surfaces again. Would you be able to clarify a few questions so we are all on the same page?
The first question would be since we have private roads with a 15 mph speed limit as well as stop signs at most streets where connected to the main road (Forest and Turkey Scratch) will city or county law enforcement monitor and ticket if we so request?
If not, what would options would be available to change that status? From the research I have done it would appear we a) need to make our roads public, b) increase the speed limit to 25, or c) both.
Thank you for your assistance.
AND HERE IS OFFICER TORRES RESPONSE.
Unfortunately the roads there are private and we are not able to enforce traffic laws within the forest. It is a long process to get the ball rolling on traffic being enforced (every board member and home owner has to sign off on it for one). I can talk about the whole process at the next meeting.
To change the speed limit, I am not sure how that would work because of the private roads.
