He also did say that local municipalities can have more restrictive rules that supersede the statutes. He said the commander of the district sheriffs department is reaching out to the city of Wildwood and the villages to see if there are more restrictive measures in place.
He said as far as the Sumter County sheriffs department is concerned pending discovery of more restrictive rules no deputy sheriff will be stopping you from crossing 466A at the traffic light of Pinellas/Penrose.
So you can cross 466 from the stop light at Walgreens off Parr Dr. to go into Southern Trace?

If only we could get a stop light on Rolling Acres Rd to get into the Best Buy and Kohls shopping plaza.
