Stop by Zoning/Main Street for your Locals Appreciation Card
Pedestrian Crossings
All vehicles must stop for any pedestrian attempting to cross at any marked intersection, with or without lights. It is illegal to pass a car stopped at a crosswalk – visibility is restricted
so assume a pedestrian is crossing. Pedestrians, PLEASE, use marked crosswalks and always operate the lights. You are helping to train drivers! After pedestrians clear the intersection,
vehicles may proceed without waiting for flashers to stop.
WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN!
Cyclists, please, use 2nd Ave/Van Horn bike routes. 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!

The repaving project on Highway 80 between Lazaretto Creek and Bull River bridges will begin April 1st. Paving will take place after 7PM on weekday nights only. The section undergoing
