SAFETY ISSUES
** Please help keep our community safe! **1. Speeding has become an issue in Trojan Horse. 15mph speed limit signs have been posted throughout the development for a reason. Many of our residents walk or run every day. We have young mothers walking their children daily, and we have a number of pets (both cats and unleashed dogs). This past year, we have had a number of reported near-miss incidents where people, pets, 4-wheelers, and cars have nearly been hit by speeding vehicles. In addition, there have been other incidents reported of vehicles not slowing, stopping, or yielding a right-of-way to other vehicles on the road. There are many areas on our roads where exceeding 15mph will not allow the time or opportunity to brake and avoid an accident.
In addition to safety, maintaining a lower speed limit is simple consideration for others. During the spring, summer, and early fall, gravel roads can be extremely dry and dusty. Speeding vehicles blow large amounts of road dust into homes with open windows. Many homes in Trojan Horse don’t have air-conditioning and rely on open windows and doors to ventilate their homes.
Let’s all make sure we watch our speed as we are driving through our development. If you are building a new home in Trojan Horse, please ask your construction crews to respect the 15mph speed limit as well.
2. Please continue to use Bryan’s Cove and Mountain Ridge Run as an EXIT only. If you must enter Trojan Horse via Bryans Cove, you should do so using 4-wheel-drive to limit damage to the road and you should be aware of the danger of meeting exiting traffic on a narrow road. It is understood that those residents who live on the Bryans Cove or on Mountain Ridge Run may need to use the road as both an entrance and an exit. All other residents are asked to use Trojan Horse Circle to enter the community.
