In Case You Missed It

Just in case you missed the large black and white signs on Waterway Drive, Spring Branch Boulevard, Northgate Drive or Southlake Boulevard, the speed limit is 35 miles per hour. As the weather warms up and children play outside, it is important to drive at the proper speeds. The Montclair Property Owners Association hires off-duty police officers to patrol the community. In addition to helping prevent unwanted activity on common areas, they also conduct traffic stops on all VDOT roads within Montclair. Please remember to drive at the posted speed limit, you won’t just be saving yourself a ticket, you may also be saving a life.
