If the answer to both is no, then what basis is there to claim others will do it, but only after 9pm?

🚫 Florida State Law Applies Statewide
According to Florida Statutes § 316.1945(1)(b)5:
“No person shall stand or park a vehicle … within 20 feet of the driveway entrance to any fire station and on the side of a street opposite the entrance to any fire station within 75 feet of such entrance (when property signposted).” 
“This includes U‑turns, which inherently involve standing momentarily—which is explicitly prohibited.
Additionally, general traffic guidelines reinforce the restriction:
• “No person shall make a U‑turn in front of the driveway entrance or approaches to a fire station. No person shall use the driveway entrance or approaches to a fire station for the purpose of turning a vehicle so as to proceed in the opposite direction”
Also reference statute 316.1515. While it does not specifically prohibit u-turns at a fire station (or anywhere else, for that matter), it can be assumed it comes down to how the officer writes the ticket. If you do a search, the AI bots say u-turns in front of a fire station are not allowed in Florida. A citation would be written to say that doing so impeded the movement of rescue apparatus.
So the question is why did the company commissioned
To undertake the report recommend doing a U Turn at the fire station as the preferred option?
