Beware of U Turns at BBD & SR 56

This week I have seen the police pulling over people making illegal U turns when traveling north on BBD at SR 56, to proceed south on BBD!
This intersection is a bit of a mess right now until they open up the SR 56 extension. Update on October 21, 2008. They opened the extension of SR 56 to The Shops at Wiregrass today, so navigation at this intersection is a bit easier. The No U Turn sign remained at BBD and SR 56.
It should be interesting to see how this intersection works when The Shops at Wiregrass opens on October 30th.

Huh? When the intersection was first created, u-turns were illegal and there was a sign posted. But they changed that and allowed it. I could be wrong but I thought the new sign says that u-turns must give way to right turns from SR56 to BBD. But hardly anyone follows this. Perhaps that is why they are being pulled over?

Yes, that sign has changed frequently. More recently it was changed to No U turns again-I guess because they have blocked off the access to the shopping center via SR 56. Who knows, today the sign could be different again!

No wonder people are confused! Today is does show no u-turns. Weird.
