My Federal Highway engineer buddy is skeptical that this is a legal sign. The cited Florida Statute says nothing more than motorists must obey posted traffic control devices. Mr Engr says that for such a sign to be legal, the road owners (aka Sumter County) must pass a specific commission order for this sign/restrictions/penalty.

Just looked at Sumter County Commission website...in their June 24th meeting, they arrived at a consensus that the sign was the way to go, but, deferred final decision/vote until their July 8th meeting. No minutes for the July 8th meeting have been posted. If they did approve this on July 8th, they sure wasted no time posting the signs. Where was the public notification, marketing plan, etc?

I understand the issue on Oak Forest, in principle, but I'm not convinced this was the best solution. So many loopholes and innocent folks who could be punished unwittingly.

I imagine this will spur much more debate....
