rt 24 aproaching the rt 301 north stop sign,near park

Waldo, FloridaApr 26, 20120 Comments

On rt 24 North going to rt 301 North, by the park. I slowed down to under 35 in a 35 zone, and aproached a school bus parked on both sides of the road with their yellow lights flashing, and little cones behind each one with a school zone sign on one of the cones. No other school zone signs, before or during. I was watching those buses so I could stop if their lights turned to flashing red. It is a dangerous area especially for walkers (a guy walking his dog suddenly stepped out from in front of the one bus) since those buses block the view, not because of the speed since the speed is not that fast. I was in the supposed school zone & out of it before I knew it. I saw the cop turn his lights on and start out of the park, and pulled over so he could go by, but instead he was pulling out for me. He said he had to give me a citation because it was a school zone, never told me how fast I was going, asked if the vehicle was mine (I answered no because it wasn’t, and he never asked anything else about the vehicle), asked for my liscense, and nothing else. He came back with my ticket and explained how to handle it, and sent me on my way. He left me and went immediately back into the park to wait for others. He was fairly polite, but this supposed school zone is bogus. I didn’t even see a school, just a park. Rt 301 farthur north from the rt 24/ rt 301 junction is a school and a school zone & two cops were in the parking lot waiting for people.
