A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THE LAWS RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES APPLY WITHIN THE CAROLINA TRACE COMMUNITY IN LEE COUNTY.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  The provisions of Chapter 20 of the General Statutes relating to the use of the highways of the State and the operation of motor vehicles are applicable to the streets, roadways, and alleys on the properties owned by or under the control of the Carolina Trace Association, Inc., or the members of the Carolina Trace Association, Inc.  For purposes of this act, streets, roadways, and alleys in the Carolina Trace Community shall have the same meaning as highways and public vehicular areas pursuant to G.S. 20-4.01.  A violation of any of those laws is punishable as prescribed by those laws.
Sec. 2.  This act is enforceable by any company policeman appointed under Chapter 74E of the General Statutes, certified by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission, and employed by the Carolina Trace Association, Inc.
Sec. 3.  This act shall not be construed as in any way interfering with the ownership and control of the streets, roadways, and alleys of the Carolina Trace Association, Inc., or its members as is now vested by law in that association or its members.  The speed limits within the Carolina Trace Community shall be the same as those in effect at the time of ratification of this act.  Any proposed change in the speed limit shall be submitted to and approved by the Lee County Board of Commissioners.  Pursuant to G.S. 20-141, the Lee County Board of Commissioners may authorize by ordinance higher or lower speeds.
Sec. 4.  This act applies only to Lee County.
Sec. 5.  This act is effective upon ratification.
