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.

The VHA has a Golf Cart Safety class monthly at Colony RC. While you cannot cross the line to pass, you CAN cross the line to go into the main road BEFORE the intersection (after signaling and seeing it is safe). While signaling again, you turn left - just as a car would. You should NOT turn left from the cart lane AT the intersection (where the line DOES break) - this has caused several accidents - and deaths - over the years. I verified this process with Wildwood PD.
