No Speeding on the reserve There have been numerous complaints and concerns about times of people speeding on the reserve. A good number of incidents where children, pedestrians, dogs and even other vehicles are nearly hit. We cannot stress enough the importance of the speed limits and speed bumps on the reserve. The speed limit on reserve is at 20 KM but sometimes that is even too fast as children run across the road so quickly. There are 2 places mentioned mainly. The corner going up the hill from unit 213-219 is where a lot of children or pedestrians nearly get bumped. People tend to speed up the hill or down. It is common sense to slow down at any corner. Another place that has been mentioned a lot is the corner just before the duplexes Units 254 B-256A. Too many vehicles speed up when going on the corner. It is a blind spot so slowing down would be common sense as well. If you have friends or family that come onto the reserve please ask them to abide by the designated speed limit.
SLOW DOWN!!!
