Re: Sumpter Landing Police
I went to Wal-Mart this morning and took note of the road and signs in question after reading this thread. The signs are much bigger than 8X10 paper and appear to be in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices that most states abide by. You can check it out if you are going to contest the ticket to verify your suspicion to the contrary. The signs appear to be state of the art, complete with blinking amber lights powered by solar panels on top. They blink only during the times specified reducing the speed limit to 20 mph in the school zones. It appears to be what I believe in police jargon is a "selective enforcement" zone. Any number of reasons could have initiated enforcement in this obviously targeted area.
In the words of the Sgt. from the Hill Street Blues, "Hey, let's be careful out there." Do you remember his name?
