In fact, I think The Villages should have recognized this on their own and striped them from day one. After all, they make a lot of decisions without asking for our vote, and it usually costs us. I VOTE YES for striping, which means YES FOR SAFETY! Probably won't cost us as much as a couple of beers or Big Mac each year.
Actually MMPs are not "our golf cart highways." they are for walkers, runners, bikers, carts, and other means of conveyance. Should we also stripe our sidewalks for safety reasons as well? Walkers don't go as fast as cars, and they have no airbags either.
