The Board of Directors of The Kingwood Lakes South Community Association (“Barrington”) invites you to participate in a petition concerning the safety and traffic control within the Barrington subdivision.
The Barrington is a private subdivision. Consequently, safety and traffic rules are governed by the HOA. To further enhance safety and traffic control, and in the best interest of the community, the HOA’s Board of Directors want to request that local law enforcement for the city and county assist the HOA in its monitoring and enforcement of traffic rules and regulations. The enforcement of such traffic rules by the city and county can only be extended to our private subdivision if the HOA can obtain a minimum approval of twenty-five percent (25%) of Barrington’s owners by petition pursuant to the Texas Transportation Code § 542.008. You can learn more about the Code at: https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/transportation-code/transp-sect-542-008.html. At present, the HOA's Board has no plans to change the current speed limit.
If you, as a Barrington owner, approve the additional enforcement of traffic control by city and county law enforcement, please provide your signature below. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR INFORMATION WILL NOT BE SHARED NOR DISCLOSED WITH A THIRD PARTY.
Thank you.

My initial reaction is that this is a significant step for the community. While the Texas Code specifies 25% as the threshold approval, that seems low for our Community. This could get approved and implemented without broad support. Once implemented, can it be undone? I also agree with the question on what is the scope. Will the police be writing speeding and parking tickets? Such tickets would then impact both driving record and insurance record? And the earlier mention of street legal golf carts - Could that be a possible impact? I suggest a community meeting to address all the unknowns and unanswered questions.
I would like to see additional details of how this New Enforcement would be Enforced, is the plan to have a private officer and at what Additional cost to the HOA a street Electronic speed sign to alert drivers. A higher HOA won’t benefit home values in Barrington. Speed and driving is always an issue in all neighborhoods put n speed bumps
Appreciate this pro active approach. Speeding must be stopped before we have a serious accident. Start with the entrance and exit road.
What are the specified traffic rules ? Speed limit, parking in the streets , street legal golf carts ?
Does this mean we have to deal with tickets for minor stuff? Need more info on how this affects us daily.
I agree with additional enforcement.
Great solution!!!

People fly down the main road like its a highway. Something needs to be done before a kid gets hurt. Im all for having the police keep an eye on things.
