Why are they so against making the community safer for all?

They are not against making the community safer for ALL.
Take all the examples given above and there still would be significantly less than half of all cart traffic on the road after dark.
And of the half that do travel after dark there is a small percentage that will have trouble seeing no matter what is done to the MMP.
Then there are the drivers, day or night, that just do not drive safely. They will be unaffected by striping or anything else.
Educating and hopefully changing the driving habits of a certain percentage of cart drivers will do more to affect the saftey of the community than striping the MMP.....and save hundreds of thousands of $$$$.
I will venture a guess that 90+% of all cart accidents are during the daytime hours......and the majority due to unsafe driving by somebody!
