Introduced by Rep. Glenn Anderson (D) on May 17, 2005, to allow a condominium owners association to set the speed limit for roads within the condominium development. Note: Some condominiums are not single buildings, but “site condos,” which look more like a regular subdivision, except some part of the development is owned in common.
- Referred to the House Transportation Committee on May 17, 2005.

Keep the police and the speeders out of my private property. Also keep the parents from picking up their kids from school on my private road that I pay for not them.

3) 15-mph Condo Streets by Anonymous Citizen on May 24, 2005
House Bill 4802 is one of several bills in the House that would give police the ability to write traffic tickets on private property. (See also HB's 4806&7.) This law would apply whether police were invited in by the condo association or not. This bill allows condo associations to set legally-binding speed limits as low as 15 m.p.h.

No doubt this will make people happy who complain about people driving "too fast" through their condo neighborhoods. But it's a certainty that the residents who complain most about speeders will be first drivers to get tickets. Few people can imagine just how slow 15 mph is, until they try to drive it on a street that is suited for 25 or more.

Be careful what you ask the government for: you just might get it.
