SAFETY All vehicles, including golf carts, must obey all stop signs and the 20 mph speed limit throughout Lake Ashton. Drivers, watch for pedestrians at all times. Obeying posted speed limit and traffic signs can help avert a potential tragedy. NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH By Fay Wood, NW Chief Safety On Wheels (Courtesy of Law Enforcement) Being safe in our vehicle is important, but also avoiding issues that could make us a target for criminal activity. A few simple ways to stay safe: • Always roll up the windows and lock your doors when you leave your car • Glance inside of the vehicle prior to opening the door to be sure nothing is amiss. • If you think someone is following do not go home —drive to the nearest police or fire station to get help. • Do not pick up hitchhikers (and never hitchhike). • When stopping at a light, leave enough room between you and the vehicle in front in case someone approaches in a threatening manner and you need to pull out! • Drivers get angry if someone tailgates or cuts them off. Let a tailgater pass. Don’t be drawn in to a “test of wills”. CITIZEN’S ASSISTED PATROL (CAP) By Mike Weissberg CAP is always looking for more volunteers to patrol the streets.
