As a local, and a native of Laconia, I don't think we can define it as ''bad behavior'' when we never had rules against it.
Some things are rules/laws being broken, but the three signs are signifying new rules for that beach.
The Weirs is rather unique among the city beaches in that it is more of a commercial venture. The area is designed to be a tourist draw, so we get people from everywhere.
But it has not performed up to the expectations of those that suggested spending a lot of tax dollars to improve it.
The location has more benefits than Meredith (Rte 3 not being as significant a deterrent to commerce and an actual sandy beach with shallow entry), but has never really reach the zenith of the desired outcome.
These new regulations may limit the number of beach goers, but will also funnel more beach goers toward the commercial establishments.
