Hope their insurance is up to date and has a high value because if I ever get hit by a person that doesn’t stop, an Orlando vehicle attorney will be involved to get the max out of the wrongdoer. I hate these ambulance chaser attorneys but I hate stop sign runners and the people who don’t know how to navigate roundabouts
When a gate is damaged and they put up a stop sign, very few drivers will actually stop. They may slow down, but they won't stop. That has been my experience. I have also noticed that, when they leave the gates in the up position for a storm, they don't even put up a stop sign.
