My house backs up to the end of a dead end street, Hodson Pl., in unincorporated Seminole. There is a white fence barrier at the end of the street and 4 red, diamond shaped signs on the fence, but there is no stop sign or dead end sign and the red signs are not very visible until you're right up to them. Also, the last house on the west (on Hodson) parks 2 and sometimes 3 vehicles in front of the fence. One vehicle has been sitting there 3 days now with a flat tire. We are planning on replacing our fence and will need to work in the small easement area behind the fence. This area is covered with various bushes, plants and even small trees and I wonder if it is acceptable to cut some of those back. I do already trim the ones that climb over my fence now, but some of them have such big roots, I'm afraid they will end up damaging my new fence within a short period of time. I just bought this house one year ago and no one from the city has ever been out there to manage the vegetation overgrowth. I thought I read in one of your publications, that vehicles in residential areas need to be parked only on a legal driveway or in a garage. I guess the vehicles that park there are an added barrier if a car happens to come down Hodson and doesn't realize it's a dead end until too late. But I would like to see better and more visible signage on the fence to prevent a vehicle from driving through it and ending up in my house. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There is an existing DEAD END plaque on the STOP sign at 102nd Avenue North. We have issued a work request to the Sign Shop to place three new, red object markers at the southerly terminus, and to remove the Type III barricades (Public Works is phasing them out because of maintenance costs.)
Thank you for taking an interest in Traffic Safety!

Appreciate your response. I have to assume if you'll be taking down the "barricade" then the warning signs will be on some kind of posts? Two of my original, main concerns were that there are no obvious warnings that Hodson is a dead-end street, except for a little yellow sign on 102nd, and that people often park 1 or more vehicles in front of the existing barricade, blocking any signage.
With the existing barricade removed, there's an even greater chance that a vehicle could come down Hodson and plow directly into my pool and house. We will soon be putting in a new fence, but of course, that certainly won't stop a car.
I realize that you are not able, or responsible, to prevent accidents happening to my person or property, but I was hoping that you could at least provide me with something that would give me a chance.

I can't tell if any department is still investigating or if the whole issue has been closed. The only dept that came to speak to me personally was the one regarding the vegetation overgrowth. I very much appreciated their effort and professionalism.
The barricade is gone now and 2 plain, red markers in its place. Doesn't look like much. And somehow, these changes have encouraged the people who live in the last house on the west on Hodson, to now use the end of the street as their private parking lot. There are about 5 different vehicles at this residence at all times and, of course, not all of them fit in their driveway. I know there's a regulation about only parking in your own driveway, but it seems to be one of those things that are enforced only when the county feels like it. Could whoever is responsible for this particular issue please look into this and let me know their response? I would like to know if the regulations apply to everyone or if it depends on who you are.
