Both must be illegal according to what is being stated in this thread. Even cars going west and turning left into that mail station must cross the double yellow center dividing lines. Does that mean left turns at that location is not allowed?

What about all the left turns off Pinellas into the neighborhoods? The golf cart lanes don't have a break in the solid white diamond lane marker as you approach these left turns. Does that mean you could be ticketed because a golf cart has to cross the solid white line to get in the car traffic lane.

Something sounds contradictory here.
I'll add, there are alot of turns into country clubs and executive golf courses that would seem to violate the law. And my last point, driving west on 466A, if you don't get into the right turn lane within that very short dotted line space, you won't be able to turn into Trailwinds.
