Roads will be wide open in Apex as police begin enforcing a right-of-way rule that went into effect Monday.
The ordinance prohibits sports equipment such as basketball and hockey nets, skateboard ramps or any other objects to be placed in or near the road. Even items on the curb may still be in the Town of Apex "right-of-way" and must be moved back.
Sgt. Wayne English said these obstructions are safety hazards for those playing in the road and cars driving through the neighborhood.
"We're not trying to ruin everybody's fun. We're just looking for the safety of our kids. Our town leaf trucks and garbage trucks can't get through," English said.
Residents have about a week to take their equipment off the road before receiving a warning. If they then do not comply with the rule, the town will remove their equipment within the month. Authorities say they will work with residents to keep every safe and happy.

Apex PD Works To Make Neighborhood Roads Safer - They should start with their own "neighborhood". The Apex Police regularly drive about 50 mph down Salem Street, a street used by many children on their way to and from Baucom Elem School.

When does the Child Catcher get hired? Lolipods..Lolipops! Based on the recent events in Apex, it would appear that we have more pressings concerns than basketball goals, skate ramps, and kids in our neighborhood streets. Oh well, I guess my boys can move their skate ramp to Tasha's Bark Park!
