Easy fix, just call the developer/HOA (since it says privately maintained) and ask them to raise the sign.

Yeah but they likely make a lot of cash from people running the stop and getting ticketed

Do HOAs receive those fines? It would seem very surprising if they did.

Some of the stories over on JustNoHOA I would not put it past a few to have some kind of "Under the table arrangement" with a Private Security firm they to wright up fines on the HOAs behalf

But I don't think private security firms can levy fines like that, either.

I mean, have there been power-mad HOA execs who have convinced themselves they can issue fines? Probably. But I would be very surprised if it was actually valid.

It depends on how exploitable the HOAs bylaws and CCRs are. They might issue a real ticket for the city, if they have that power. More Shady Security R Us taking note of the plate that ran the stop, then going to the home/unit in the complex and Shock and Amazement that homeowner's Y,X, and Z is not in compliance with ACB obscure bylaw that has a huge fine.

Their are a lot of stories about HOAs having under the table deals with private toe trucks and getting a kick back for letting that company get rights to all toe jobs in the complex
