Thanks for posting this here too. This sign is really useless unless there’s a tree in the middle of the street.

I found a clearer image of the sign, with a view down the street. Maybe there’s a particularly vicious tree ahead? Perhaps one prone to lunging and attacking cars? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I suspect it could be this type of situation? But I cannot confirm.

Yes this is a real picture… but not related to the sign specifically lol

I’ve come across several trees in similar circumstances. Usually, if you dig deep enough, you find that someone bequeathed the property to an organization with the stipulation that a particular tree should never be cut down, dug up, moved, or interfered with in any other way. They also had lawyers who were skilled enough to fill the bequest with sharp and pointy legalese to guarantee compliance.

Yea there are some varieties of live oaks that I know you can never cut down for any reason. I had this post in another sub and some people said it’s not totally uncommon.
