OBEYING STOP SIGNS & SPEEDING
There are a number of drivers, residents, visitors and vendors alike intentionally break the law by not coming to full stop, or even slowing down at stop signs. The Florida statute regulating stop signs states, "every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk."
Nowhere does it state that slowing down at a stop sign is sufficient. Not coming to a full stop is illegal. This practice endangers pedestrians and other drivers I have seen many "brake checks" as people drive into the intersection after rolling through a stop sign and seeing a police car sitting nearby.
All vehicles shall maintain a speed of 20 mph max while on community roads. Southern Dunes has signed a contract with the Haines City Police where they will patrolling our private roads and issuing tickets to those who are found speeding as well as not stopping at STOP signs.
