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.
Thanks Ragman for posting your experience. Now I understand the situation. I agree poor design.
