Looking at the photo of the warning sign in the photo at the top of the page, it would appear that the arrow & tipping truck image should be reversed, as it would be for a curve to the right, not a left curve direction.

I have two (2) good friends who work for the FDOT. This is just a temporary fix, the signs stating the speed limit decrease that is. They do intend on correcting this problem and issue, the FDOT. Time is of the essence I realize but sometimes projects of this magnitude do take time getting plans laid out and initially implemented in the end.

These (pro) truck drivers are suppose to be able to drive through mountains, snow and ice all over the country, so why cant they drive down a four lane road in north Florida?

Good point. Another example of a sign being obscured is coming into Century east bound on Stateline Road. The sign warning of the curve and the 15 MPH can only be seen when you get right upon it due to tree branches in front of it. This particular sign is also old and non reflective.

I believe the 30 MPH signs and the 35 MPH signs are Not Suggestions. The 15 MPH speed limit on the curve on State line road is also not just a suggestion. I would think the 25 MPH should be adhered to. I have to check myself and set my cruise. Cars still speed through here but I appreciate the word getting out.
The ECSO officers comes out in force occasionally and they have numerous people pulled over simultaneously.
Let’s keep Century a safe and quiet place to live, ride through, and come into town for services.
No Rollovers, No wrecks, no expensive traffic tickets.
Slow down and smile. If you can’t stop–wave!

The sign at burger king can’t be seen until last minute due to the tree they placed the sign next to.

The yellow 25 curve sign is not an enforceable traffic sign only a warning sign with a recommended speed. No tickets can be issued for exceeding 25 mph by a truck/car. The Trucks Use Right Lane is an official traffic control device and a regulatory sign that can be enforced by a traffic citation.
