The rest of that statute states:
(5) A county or municipality may prohibit the operation of low-speed vehicles or mini trucks on any road under its jurisdiction if the governing body of the county or municipality determines that such prohibition is necessary in the interest of safety.
(6) The Department of Transportation may prohibit the operation of low-speed vehicles or mini trucks on any road under its jurisdiction if it determines that such prohibition is necessary in the interest of safety.
So Lake County does have the right to prohibit LSVs. Besides, I don't believe that section of Rolling Acres is technically an intersection. If it was, there would be a pedestrian crossing. Regardless, there are safety concerns... even when trying to cross in a car.
