Winter Driving Safety
February 17th, 2010
Chapel Grove has experienced the worst snow accumulation since its development. As a result of the snow being removed from the roadways, the snow has been piled along the sidewalks forcing pedestrians to walk in the streets. Drivers need to be especially vigilant while entering and exiting the community, especially during the school bus pick up/drop off times. School children are not always visible when approaching intersections. Although the posted speed limit for the community is 25 MPH, under normal conditions, a more realistic speed now is 15 MPH allowing for the narrow roadways and icy conditions. The goal is to avoid a potential tragedy.
