Couldn't you make just as valid an argument that not striping would subject us to liability? Cart is driving at night, doesn't realize where the edge of the path lies, drives off the side of the path, collides with a fence post or tree. Attorney takes us to court for not being proactive, thus causing a safety hazard?
Is Mikeod's scenario, and others like it the reason that the engineers recommend against them rather than for them?

Engineers, i.e., the EXPERTS, have determined that striping is not recommended, therefore liability is zilch.
