Safety
Joggers, pedestrians, and those on stand-on scooters or in golf carts must use the promenades rather than the streets.
Bicycle riders should ride where they feel it is safest based on their individual riding style and prevailing conditions. Pursuant to Florida Statute 316.2065, bicyclists may ride either on the promenades and have the same right of way as pedestrians. Bicyclists must yield to pedestrians when sharing the sidewalk, however, when overtaking and passing, bicyclists must give an audible signal to alert pedestrians.
If bicyclists choose to ride in the street, they have the same rights of the roadway as other motorists and must obey the same traffic laws, including but not limited to: stop signs, red lights, riding directionally with the flow of traffic, and yielding the right of way when entering a roadway. Bicyclists should ride on the right hand curb or edge of the roadway for rider safety and allow vehicles to pass. Bicyclists should use directional hand signals to show other drivers they are about to make a turn. Drivers passing a bicyclist on the street must exercise caution when overtaking and passing a bicyclist.
Bicycles must be equipped with working brakes. Bicycles operated between dusk and sunrise must be equipped with a white light in the front and both a red reflector and a red lamp light on the rear. All bicyclists under the age of 16 must wear a bike helmet and it is recommended that all bicyclists wear a bike helmet when riding.
Everyone is expected to adhere to the posted speed limits and to obey stop signs.
Prohibition of Fireworks
Residents and their guests are prohibited from using any fireworks at any time; at any private residences, on any dock, roadway, sidewalk, open space, pavilion, or parking area within Jonathan’s Landing.
The following definitions and penalties are consistent with the Fla. Stat. Sections 791.01-791.08 and the JL POA is using them as its basis for this policy.
“Fireworks” means and includes any combustible or explosive composition or substance or combination of substances or, except as hereinafter provided, any article prepared for the purpose of producing a visible or audible effect by combustion, explosion, deflagration, or detonation. The term includes blank cartridges and toy cannons in which explosives are used, the type of balloons which require fire underneath to propel them, firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, roman candles, dago bombs, and any fireworks containing any explosives or flammable compound or any tablets or other device containing any explosive substance.
Using fireworks may be punishable as a first-degree misdemeanor, which may carry a sentence of up to a year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines. These penalties shall be imposed by the state, not the JL POA.
This policy, however, does not preclude the JL POA and JL Golf Club from hosting their holiday fireworks shows because they use licensed professionals and have received county and state permits.
Sparklers are not considered fireworks and may be used any day of the year.
