The board and property management continue to discuss the Forest Springs parking and problem with county officials and look for way that will help improve the problems.
VDOT management has revisited the parking situation on Forest Springs and has agreed to install “No Parking” signs at all the cut-out curbs (handicapped) on Forest Springs. They will not install no parking signs in any other locations at this time.
They asked that we remind everyone of the following Virginia parking regulation and to familiarize yourself with it, especially the language that states you can’t park any closer than 20 feet from any intersection.
46.2-1239. Parking in certain locations; penalty.
No person shall park a vehicle or permit it to stand, whether attended or unattended, on a highway in front of a private driveway, within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or the entrance to a fire station, within 15 feet of the entrance to a plainly designated emergency medical services agency, or within 20 feet from the intersection of curb lines or, if none, then within 15 feet of the intersection of property lines at any highway intersection.
Code 1950, § 46-263; 1958, c. 541, § 46.1-258; 1972, c. 528; 1984, c. 126; 1989, c. 727; 2015, cc. 502, 503.
To help maintain a level of safety and efficiency we ask that everyone adhere to the parking rules and be mindful of the speed limits which will help reduce the risk of accidents and enhance overall safety. To help ensure compliance, law enforcement will begin enforcement measures, to include ticketing.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to address the parking and speeding issues.
