Motorists should expect traffic delays and possible traffic detours.

Wildlife Safety: Deer Crossing Reminder, Drive with Caution

Slow Down. Drive at slower speeds during dawn and dusk hours when deer are known to be more active. Also, remember that deer often travel in herds, so if you see one animal there may be others in the vicinity.

Use High Beams. Using your vehicle’s high beams (if possible) can help you spot deer more quickly, which can give you the best opportunity to slow down as you approach.

Don’t Swerve! It’s an automatic response to swerve out of the pathway of an animal that darts out into the path of your vehicle. Experience proves that the property damage and injuries caused by car vs. deer accidents are more severe when the driver swerves to avoid hitting the animal. The best thing to do when a deer runs into the road is to slow down as much as possible and then allow your car to hit the deer.

What if my vehicle hits a deer?

To report a vehicle collision with a deer within the Sea Pines Community, call Sea Pines Security Dispatch at 843.671.7170. If there are injuries, call 911.

Landscaping Maintenance Reminder for Vegetation/Land Bordering Waterways, Lagoons, Oceanfront, and Government Protected Environment

(6.2.) Special consideration shall be given to vegetation and the land itself bordering waterways, lagoons, the oceanfront, and any other government-protected critical environment. If such land is not the Property of the Owner, modification of it and/or its vegetation requires pre-approval from its legal owner and/or administrator.

Sea Pines CSA owns most of the common property in Sea Pines which includes lagoon banks. The ground, water and vegetation (living or dead) located in such areas may serve a vital role in bird, animal and plant preservation and in shoreline stabilization.

Disruption of such areas are subject to penalties for trespassing and for violations as defined by law.

To report an alleged violation of the Community Standards Rules and Regulations, please contact our Community Standards Department via our online request form.
