Why does a walker need to be taken out in a blind curve? Maybe the golf carts should never pass or drive faster than they can see around curves. Why are walkers and bicyclists always thrown up as the problem? Lines in the road will make walking and bicycling more dangerous on "the golf cart path." Golf carts will hesitate to cross the center line. Maybe a compromise would be to use reflectors to denote the entrance to dividng paths and reflectors in the middle of the curves, and leave the straightaways unlined. I would be for that.
