PLEASE
SLOW DOWN
When driving in LOE
In recent months we have had several documented
cases of drivers excessively exceeding the speed limit.
In addition, we have had a couple of accidents, in
which, although not officially confirmed, speed
appears to be a contributing factor. The most recent
accident narrowly missing a pedestrian. Fortunately,
there have been no serious injuries - yet.
Please, please slow down! The speed limit is 25 mph.
Remind all family members, visitors and vendors. We
do not want to see anyone getting hurt!
This is a family community with children outside playing, pedestrians, cyclists, and
skateboarders. Walkers/runners if you are on the phone or listening to music/podcasts
please stay aware of your surroundings at all times. Please do your part to ensure this is a
safe community for everyone.
Let’s do everything we can to keep LOE safe and tragedy free!
