What a waste of money and terrible sign pollution. Nobody is going to read these ugly things even if they could. You can't even read anything at the 5mph speed of golf carts. The only thing you can read from the road is "IT'S THE LAW".

STOP SOWAL SIGN POLLUTION!!! WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A SCENIC ROAD PEOPLE! ALLOWING GOLF CARTS ON OUR ROADS IS BAD ENOUGH WHY RUB SALT IN OUR WOUNDS?

Once posted it allows law enforcement to simply write tickets or affect an arrest. Would you rather endless warnings for infractions?

Laws don't require signs to be enforceable.

Reminds me of the blue sign freak out of around 2007, 2008.

This is old news that has been hashed out already. The majority see it as a win so that ticketing carts can be easier and takes the "I didn't know" out of the equation. Time to move on...

They also have stickers available for the actual golf carts for the front window.

Rules and laws are covered when you rent one. Signs do nothing and you can't even read them. Just more clutter on SCENIC roads. Somebody's brother must own a sign company.

A simple sign with large letters saying "driving on these highways without a driver's license is illegal" might be less annoying and more effective.

A tually the sheriff specifically requested these at a BCC meeting.

Perhaps we need signs informing people that armed robbery, arson, murder ... are illegal. :rolleyes:

And did he request that they be huge with too many words so lettering would be so small no one could read them?

Try driving past it at the speed of a golf cart.

As @bentley williams said in the OP, and I can verify, even at 5mph you can't read it exccept for the one large line at the bottom. And not only is the text too small there is too much of it. And the graphics are confusing. Face it, the sign looks more like a page of rules you would get when you signup to rent a cart. As a sign it is a FAIL and is just adding to the junk in our beautiful environment. NO THANKS!

We have to put our foot down people. Pretty soon we'll have signs every ten feet on 30A. The realtor signs are already out of control. I think we should have a small standard size like some communities do. Put everyone on the same level playing field is the fair way to do it.

The original complaint is too many signs. Big letters or small letters a sign is a sign...
