Saw the driver-a real elderly woman, with oxygen- I told her that she almost hit me--got a blank stare, that reminded me of my relatives when they had dementia

Called the Sheriff gave them her tag #--was told I should have called them immediately & they could have done a welfare eval
I believe that if the STOP sign is on private property it is not enforceable as a traffic violation. Read somewhere that the signs are not the same size as the official ones put up by the county/municipality. But if there is some sort of accident that could be an issue.

Can anyone confirm/deny this?
