I suspect it does matter who is wearing the gloves that plants the signs or who is signing the paycheck for that individual. If the law does not allow crossing 466A and there is a legal sign stating such then the argument that "I heard on the internet that it was ok" isn't going to carry much weight.

FWIW: I heard a Sumter County Sheriff deputy (not sure what rank), state unequivocally that crossing 466A at Trailwinds was NOT legal. (of course, he also would have said that traveling down Morse at a speed greater than 35mph is not legal and we know how many obey that)
I actually called the Sumter County Sherriff's office. A deputy told me crossing 466A at Trailwinds WAS legal. I did it and went to Culver's. Guess who was right behind me when I did it???? A Sumter County squad car.....
