TRAFFIC RULES ENFORCEMENT
Although most traffic rules are followed while operating vehicles, there are violations that jeopardize overall safety in Forest Highlands. Examples of a few violations causing concern are speeding and not stopping at stop signs. In 2022, radar cameras were found to be successful in changing unsafe driving habits in areas with significant speeding violations. Most of the unsafe speeds happen on downhill roadways; please help do your part to make roads safe by maintaining safe speeds when driving downhill. Also, it is important to remind visitors to do the same. The Security Department and the Security Committee will continue to research and implement ideas on how to make roads safe in Forest Highlands.
