I got a warning ticket there about a year ago.

When you come out of the Target center there is a dividing strip in front of you for a few yards. Most people unfamiliar with the place would just pull to the right a little and go around the median strip.

The sign is at the end of the strip and is plainly visible going south on Rolling Acres. My problem was I was looking at the traffic to my left as I pulled out and didn't see the sign. MY DW saw both the sign and the cop sitting at driveway on the other side but didn't tell me.

I think it is confusing to people coming out of Target, but then that whole intersection area is very poorly designed.
