Vehicle and Pedestrian Safety Reminder at Southridge Mall
July 16, 2011 | 08:54 AM Posted by the Greendale Police Department
Due to construction that is taking place, and which is going to take place over the next year, we want to remind everyone to drive safely in the Mall parking lots.
Hundreds of vehicles come and go from Southridge Mall over the course of a week. Due to Mall renovations and the new construction project on the south end of the Mall, there may be detours and the possibility of poor visibility due to construction signs and equipment.
Police and Mall Security are working together to increase parking lot patrols.
Not all traffic laws are enforceable on private property such as Southridge Mall parking lots. However, the Village has ordinances which cover driving that is dangerous such as speeding, failing to stop for stop signs on the property, and driving recklessly in the lot. Violating these rules may result in the driver being issued a citation.
Citations being issued on Southridge property are not common. It only occurs when a person’s driving is dangerous to others or themselves, and frequently is because a citizen called to complain about other driver’s actions or due to an accident in the parking lot. Mall security patrols will call the police if they observe reckless driving.
Let’s all slow down and drive with care and consideration for other drivers when driving in the parking lots. Our shopping experience will be safer and more enjoyable.
