Garages and Parking—As a reminder, no items can be placed, constructed, or stored in the garage if these items reduce or eliminate parking for two passenger vehicles. The inside sides of the garage are primarily intended to allow space for opening car doors, not for storage or shelves (see Modification Restrictions—Garages and Driveways).
Electric Bike, Scooter and Golf Cart Safety—Although we would all certainly love to see the end of this pandemic, the one good thing that has come out of this is how many more residents have been enjoying bike rides and other outdoor activities. With that comes the need to be more mindful of safety. Drivers should make sure to keep an eye out for pedestrians and human-propelled vehicles such as bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc.
Persons operating human-propelled vehicles need to do so in a safe manner and in compliance with the rules (see Human Propelled and Motorized Vehicles, Traffic Regula- tions and Golf Carts and Low Speed Vehicles).
Golf cart operators must have a valid driver’s license, must comply with traffic regulations, and may not tow other individuals or items with the cart.
Electric bikes need to use caution when entering through a gate as the barrier arm comes down quickly after a vehicle enters. There have been a lot of close calls when the arm comes down and almost hits a bicyclist.
Garage Doors—Please make sure your garage door is closed when you are not in your garage using the space. This will prevent items in your garage from being visible to other prop- erties, will secure your personal belongings and prevent theft.
Did you know?—A blue colored reflector dot in the street indicates the location of a fire hydrant. When you see this, be aware that you are not allowed to park along the street and block the hydrant. If you do, you may get a ticket. Not all curbs next to hydrants are painted red, much the same as throughout the entire City of Dana Point.
