After pedestrians clear intersection, vehicles may proceed without waiting for flashers. WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN! Cyclists, please, use 2nd Ave/Van Horn bike routes. Cyclists have all responsibilities of vehicles, including stopping at stop signs, but also have all rights of motor vehicles. Drivers must provide 3’ clearance when passing a bicycle! Save Yourself Time and Paper! Did you know you can get your monthly utility bill and newsletter via email? You can also pay online or set up automatic payments. If your billing history shows you have a consistent monthly usage, arranging autopay is a great way to free up time and make sure payment is never late. To pay your bill online, have your most recent bill in hand – you’ll need the amount of your most recent payment - then set up an account, or make a one-time payment by visiting https://www.municipalonlinepayments.com/tybeeislandga/utilities. To arrange for electronic billing or to set up an ACH (autopay), contact Nalene Conway at 912.472.5025 or email her at nconway@cityoftybee.org.
