For homeowners associations with private roads — i.e. those only open for member use — it is often necessary for the board to take matters into its own hands. Here are the ways an HOA can prevent traffic accidents and minimize reckless driving in their community: come up with HOA traffic rules, educate homeowners on traffic safety, post signs everywhere, add speed bumps, use radar guns and cameras, implement fines for HOA traffic violations, outsource to a security firm, and seek help from local police.
