It has to be the most ignored sign ever. I have made it as high as Whitney Portal and as low as the first switchback but most of the time we make to the Meysan Lake Trailhead Parking area.
The rocks can be huge and there are no guarantees you will not be ticketed or that you can get down the road once you are up there. Check the forecast, then rock the dice and take your chances.
You misread my post. Now there's a steel gate ACROSS the road. Bolted shut. No way around it. Gone is the old sawhorse with a sign.
