Woah.
Can state law change this, or is this a federal funding requirement? (I can't imagine it's a constitutional requirement. Plenty of publicly-funded services from food stamps to the restrooms at Area 51 have restrictions on which members of the general public can use them.)
- michaelmrose 7y agoIn some areas governments put up signs like this without stopping to complete the triviality of actually passing a law allowing them to do so. Whereas there might be nothing whatsoever wrong with such a law you can't legally fine or arrest people for not following instructions you were never legally authorized to give. Essentially anything you put on a sign doesn't gain the force of law. Example GA went through some drama regarding that notably their local chief of police publicly stated http://dunwoodynorth.blogspot.com/2017/12/dunwoody-homeowners-association-meeting.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+DunwoodyNorth+%28Heneghans+Dunwoody+Blog%29 http://dunwoodynorth.blogspot.com/2017/12/dunwoody-homeowner... residents in my neighborhood were looking for relief from this cut thru issue along with more enforcement of speeding, stop sign violations and trucks also cutting thru. I reached out to Chief Grogan to share the neighbors concerns and asked that he have the Dunwoody legal staff research the legality of enforcing the "No thru Traffic" on public streets as I personally see the issue as unenforceable. I wouldn't be surprised if some neighborhoods or property owners also put up fake signs. Wouldn't be the first time.
