ROAD CONDITIONS & WEATHER FOR FLAGSTAFF

While Security monitors and provides road conditions for Forest Highlands, it is difficult to keep up on highways/interstates conditions leading to Flagstaff. If you are not aware of road and weather conditions, below are a few resources to help with road conditions and weather forecasts:

• Arizona road conditions can be obtained by calling 511 or the internet, www.az511.gov/traffic

• National Weather Service visit www.weather.gov/flagstaff

SPEED LIMIT ENFORCMENT PLEASE MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE SPEED Speed limits within Forest Highlands are consistent with residential speed limit standards. In Forest Highlands the only road with a 35 MPH speed limit is Forest Highlands Drive, which spans from the Security Gatehouse to the mailroom. At the mailroom, the speed limit is reduced to 15 MPH because of the congestion and there is a golf cart path crossing.

Security monitors 911 dispatches and responds to emergencies for the purpose of supporting emergency first responders and members/guest/employees. If you have questions or want to provide information to Security, below are contact options: Security Gatehouse: 928-525-9090 Email: security@fhgc.com

Recently there has been discussion in the community about radar cameras used to enforce speed limits, with mostly positive comments. In summary, data indicates the radar cameras are having a positive impact for community safety. Below is information provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and pertains to vehicle stopping distances. Keep in mind the information is based on level ground, good weather, properly working vehicle equipment and attentive drivers.
