How many and what type of carts are in use in the Villages?

Each household has one or two carts. I think it safe to say there are 120,000 residents x 50% to 75% = 60 to 90,000 carts.
That why I think it's ludicrous to believe there are only a handful of accidents per year as the engineers reported.


The percentage of carts being used at night and the age of those users.

Suppose you found out that it was 10%, 20%, 80% were used at night----What difference would it make.
As far as age, just about 100% of the drivers are over the age of 55.



A traffic count of cart use on the multi-modal trails to highlight areas of high use.

I don't know how to do this, since no one is recording all the accidents but knowing where accidents occur most often would be helpful. If an ambulance is called is the accident recorded? Maybe someone knows.
