The only problem I've encountered on a very rare occasion was on the cross over point to get my cart to merge southbound to get on the path. Mostly during heavy traffic autos would ignore my signal left and gun it to pass me forcing me to jerk back to left sometimes greeting me with a one finger salute and horn blast. I believe the biggest problem with Morse blvd traffic speeding is because it's used as a cut thru between 27/441 and 466. I haven't had any scary incidents on morse in our cart in the past six weeks or so.
