Message from the PVCA President:
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND KNOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD!
GOOD NEIGHBOR STREET SAFETY REMINDERS
LET’S ALL WORK TO MAKE OUR PONTE VEDRA STREETS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE!
PEDESTRIANS
-Walk AGAINST traffic.
-Have right of way over vehicles. Vehicles include Cars, Bikes and Golf carts.
CARS
-Observe speed limits, especially maneuvering around parked vehicles. There may be a dog walker, a family with a stroller or golf cart out of your vision. Please follow all traffic laws including stopping at stop signs
-When a school bus is stopped, and lights are flashing, it is illegal to pass.
GOLF CARTS
-Carts are vehicles and as such must follow traffic laws. Please come to a full STOP and look both ways. Parents please ride with your under age unlicensed drivers in the carts.
-Carts need to be licensed to drive on the roads.
CYCLISTS
-Bikes are vehicles and as such must follow all traffic laws. Please come to a full STOP and look both ways.
-Should ride WITH traffic, i.e. other vehicles.
-A cyclist riding on the sidewalk should yield the right of way to pedestrians and given an audible signal before passing.
-A cyclist may ride two abreast ONLY within a single lane and when not impeding traffic.
PARKING
-Please ask your construction workers and contractors to park in your driveway or your right of way. Let’s get parked vehicles off the road.
-We are compiling a list of contractors who do this as a token of appreciation.
