There is a situation that boggles my mind. It's in relation to the RaceTrac gas station on 27/441 across from Water Oak Estates. If you're northbound on 27/441 and you want to enter the station there are two apparent options and neither is legal.
At the red light you can do one of two things, make a u-turn southbound and turn into the station, however there is a sign that u-turns are illegal. You could turn left onto Teague Trail and go about 50 yards and turn left into the station's side entrance. Once again, there is a sign that indicates u-turns are illegal. To turn left into the station is not a full u-turn, it's actually about a 110 degree turn.
About 2 months ago I stopped for gas and was northbound, so I used the left turn onto Teague and then a 110 degree turn into the station. A Lady Lake police officer was in his car in the lot and pulled up to me at the pump and said, you know u-turns are illegal there. I said they are also illegal in front of the station at the light, how am I suppose to enter the station? He said I should of continued down Teague Trail until I could pull into a business and turn around in their parking lot and then come back and make a right turn into the station. This is the truth, and no I didn't get a ticket.
