General
Property Rules
No
swimming in the ponds
It has
been brought to our attention that some children have been
swimming in the ponds and shooting guns around the common areas.
Needless to say, the ponds are not safe for children to
swim.
No
discharge of firearms
It is
illegal to to discharge firearms within the city limits of the
City of Ridgeland. BB guns and all pellet guns are included in the
Ordinance. The penalty is "a fine up to $500 and/or imprisonment
up to 6 Months". Anyone observing this violation should report it
immediately to the Ridgeland Police Department.. Everyone has now
been forewarned!
No
offroad driving of any type of motorized
vehicle
...
which includes motorcycles, four-wheelers, sport utility vehicles,
pickup trucks, etc. This practice not only annoys and endangers
the residents enjoying the walking paths and picnic areas, but
results in damage to our sprinkler heads, flower beds, shrubs,
trees, and grass. It costs a great deal of YOUR money to repair
this damage, money that was projected for other uses. The
Ridgeland police is patrolling our neighborhood and has been
directed to arrest all violators, whether they are residents or
not. We will prosecute violators to the full force of the law and
we will recover damages.
No
driving of unlicensed offroad vehicles on the streets
The
streets of Dinsmor are public city streets and all local
ordinances apply, including those relating to the operation of
unlicensed vehicles by unlicensed drivers. This practice not only
endangers the drivers and passengers of these inherently unsafe
vehicles, but also exposes licensed drivers of licensed vehicles
to the risk of becoming involved in accidents which can profoundly
change their lives. The Ridgeland police is patrolling our
neighborhood and has been directed to arrest all violators,
whether they are residents or not.
Obey
all traffic laws when driving on the streets of
Dinsmor
This
goes without saying, or at least it should. Speed limits, STOP
signs, and one-way signs (including the Agency Circle) carry the
same weight as on any other street in town. The Ridgeland police
is patrolling our neighborhood and will ticket violators just the
ame as on Highway 51!
Please talk with
your children and their guests about these simple, common-sense
rules. The streets and common areas are for all of the residents to
enjoy!
