FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2026 23 Happy New Year, friends. e Community Awareness Committee hopes everyone has a safe and healthy 2026! Wet and Cold Weather Safety Tips e winter season brings with it wet and cold weather. While we do not experience the heavy rainfall and extreme cold temperatures found in many areas of the United States, we can take steps to adjust to the damp and oen cold conditions we will be experiencing. Slips and falls create the greatest risk we encounter as rain makes our walking surfaces slippery and unpredictable. Keep in mind that early morning dew or sprinkler runoff can make for slippery conditions. ese wet surfaces may freeze during the colder nights causing icy conditions. e following tips can help you stay on your feet: • Check your shoes and walking boots. Worn shoe treads decrease your slip resistance on wet and icy surfaces. • Check your path of travel and be alert to what lies ahead. • Be extra cautious when crossing streets. Vehicles require more time to slow down on wet roads. • Slow down your walking pace while traversing on wet or icy surfaces and be extremely careful on stairs. Note: Remember to wear high-visibility clothing and carry a flashlight when walking in low light, overcast, or foggy conditions. As an added safety reminder… Unsafe driving is a common concern and theme brought up by residents. Here are a few reminders to help keep our community safe. • 25 miles per hour is the maximum speed limit on roadways within our residential districts. • 30 miles per hour is the maximum speed limit on Four Seasons Circle. • 15 miles per hour is the maximum speed limit in alleyways. Remember, parking in alleyways is prohibited. We need to maintain access for emergency response vehicles. • Stop at all designated STOP signs. • Roundabout etiquette: Yield to vehicles already in the circle. When entering a roundabout, only drive in a counterclockwise direction! Use your right turn signal when exiting the roundabout. • No Distracted Driving - Put away your cell phones and other electronic devices while driving. • Yield to pedestrians. Note to Drivers: It is important to follow prudent driving practices. Although our streets are not marked with center lines, please avoid driving down the center of our roadways, staying on the right side of the street. Monthly CPR Sunday classes are not currently being scheduled. However, you may arrange to schedule a CPR class for your club or committee by calling, texting, or emailing AJ Reilly to set up a class: (951) 522-9975 or reilly58@me.com.
