With the frequency that the dividing posts on the paths are crumpled, I don't think that scenario is a stretch.

According to the news, the engineer stated at the meeting that the side stripes did not present any safety issues. I think there is a better chance of a lawsuit if there is a fatality or serious injury because of no stripes. But we shall see. Sooner or later there is going to be a head on collision between two golf carts or a walker is going to be taken out in a blind corner.... TV has deep pockets.
