Pedestrian Crossings State law requires you must stop at any marked intersection, with or without lights, if any pedestrian attempts to cross. It is illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – you must assume a pedestrian is crossing. Pedestrians, PLEASE, cross at marked crosswalks and always operate the lights. After pedestrians have cleared the intersection, vehicles may proceed without waiting for flashers to stop. Cycling on Butler or Jones is dangerous! Please use 2nd Ave bike route. Cyclists have all responsibilities of vehicles, including stopping at stop signs! Cyclists also have all rights of motor vehicles. Drivers MUST provide 3’ clearance when passing a cyclist! Remember, the Butler Ave speed limit is 30 MPH from the Curve to Tybrisa. Events not happening in November: The second City Council meeting does not occur during regularly scheduled slots in either November or December, due to the holidays. There is often a special called meeting during the month to handle last minute business cropping up. Watch the City Calendar page for announcements. Or, better, sign up for automatic notifications at http://cityoftybee.org/list.aspx. TIPD VIP Luncheons do not take place during November or December. The Public Safety Committee meeting, which would normally be during the holiday weekends of these months will also typically be rescheduled, but you’ll need to watch the calendar for an announcement during the month! Tybee for the Holidays Begins Tybee for the Holidays kicks off Thanksgiving weekend and runs through New Year’s Day! The month long celebration of the holiday season includes a variety of activities like Small Business Saturday on November 25 (it feels good to buy local!), parades, giving events, best decorated business awards, holiday shows, etc. Plus, many local restaurants will be open on holiday days so you can get out of the kitchen!
