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.
Exactly the problem-- treating MMPs like highways for golfcarts. Stipes will only add to that perception. Very few nightime accidents, and no evidence that stripes will change those statistics.
