Just a little reminder: Almost everyone is friendly in Treasure Island Florida, except for the police department. If your speeding, you will get a ticket! Please be careful when driving, and please watch your speed. There has been several pedestrians killed crossing the streets, in the past few years. Keep in mind, this is a vacation spot, and families cross the streets regularly. I'm not saying the policeman are personally mean, or hateful, because they aren't. But they do not tolerate careless driving at all. This is a slow moving community, which is what your looking for, after all they don't call it vacation for nothing.
