2) the roundabout at the north end of Morse is encircled by a golf-cart path. Is this a roundabout, too, or can golf carts go either way round it?
3) I have seen golf-carts traveling south stop at the Rio Grande traffic lights, then proceed as if they were going "right on red". This is no more dangerous than a true "right on red" but is it legal?
My thinking is:
1) the lanes should be treated as true multi-modal;
2) should be treated as a roundabout;
3) stop and wait for the green light.
I am interested in what your answer would be to each of the above but, also, where might I find a definitive, legally-binding answer to these questions?
Thank you

1) Anybody who would walk in the cart/bike lane would be taking their lives in their own hands
2) This traffic circle has always had one way traffic for golf carts
This section of Morse Blvd was designed and built in the 1980's. There were no 'multi-modal' paths at that time. This is one of the worst designs in TV, but, to be fair, the population at that time was about 10,000. Hopefully, a solution to these problems can be found.
Don't know what the legally-binding answers are or where to find them. Probably the Sumter county sheriff's office. Comparing Morse to what is built today is apples to oranges.
