SPEEDING IN stonewall Ranch PARKING ON THE STREET Most homeowners have some space in their garage reserved for storage – in some cases most of the garage, thereby not leaving enough room for their vehicles. Consequently, many owners park their vehicles on the street making it difficult for others to pass and creating hazardous conditions for the children. Although we’re all anxious to get home to be with our families, speeding and reckless driving is against the law and endangers everyone. Stonewall Ranch is a family oriented community with many children; for that reason before you speed or park on the street, please consider their well-being. Also, children playing in the street can unknowingly create a dangerous situation, especially on heavily traveled streets; the driver may not see the child, especially in the evening or after dark. We all know that children have a tendency to move about impulsively and may Children are our greatest treasures, inadvertently run into the street. Please don’t let a tragedy happen before parking and we’re creating a threat your vehicle off the street or obeying the speed limit. For the benefit of all the residents and children, and the overall appearance of your neighborhood, please to their safety by parking do not park on the street. Make accommodations in your garage or driveway for on the streets and by speeding your vehicles and keep your streets clear and safe for all and please, DO NOT through Stonewall Ranch.
