I think that's bogus as originally enforced by Lady Lake PD and then rescinded. If that solid white line was as you have stated and indicator of NO PASSING, you would not be able to pass a bicycle or walker.
Lt Wolfe of Sumter Sheriff's Office may have a clearer explanation in this case. You may wish to check with him as he told me that it is also legal for a car to move over right into the "diamond" lane to pass a car waiting to make a left turn as long as the pasing car stays on the road.
Perhaps the enforcement is when a "golf cart" that has been souped up passes another legal golf cart at a speed greater than 20 MPH. A street legal cart of course can pass and in my opinion if it is doing the speed limit, it should stay out of the diamond lane.
