Did you know you aren’t supposed to park within 30 feet of a stop sign ?

Did you know you aren’t supposed to park within 30 feet of a stop sign ? I learned this (among other things) Wednesday night at a safety/traffic/parking meeting that the Dunwoody Police held with my neighborhood. When I was walking my dog this morning I noticed one of my favorite teenagers parked well within 30 feet of a very hectic stop sign in my neighborhood. I got in touch with her, moved her car ASAP, then proceeded to explain what I learned last night so she’ll avoid a ticket and will also know how to keep the intersection safer and will tell her friends! We have two schools in my neighborhood (Vanderlyn and DHS) so if you are a parent or student driving through, or parking in Meadowlake neighborhood, I urge you to become familiar with the Georgia parking laws and obey the speed limit. There have been several close calls lately and the police have informed us they are watching closely and will be ticketing to enforce the laws and keep everyone safe.
