I have also added additional turn, brake and running lights to my carts. I am doing everything I can to make sure my cart is visable to others and I can see. What I can't control is the other drivers and I want every possible means (including side striping) to keep me safe while traveling on the MMPs. I want to be able to clearly see the edge as I am taking defensive actions from some drunk speeding down the middle of the path because they cannot see the edge. If striping is such a bad idea, let's take them off the streets as well. Let's make it a real free-for-all. Talk about your personal responsibility!
All of the posters so far have not said why striping is such a bad idea other than they do not want to pay for it. An origanization I loath, the POA has presented a thoughtful and good arguement on why there should be striping. The folks saying there should not be striping are the ones exceeding the speed limits, have bad lighting on their carts and take their own beer to the squares then drive.
I am willing to pony up the $4.00. Give me a better option. (and not telling me to stay off the MMPs when it is dark on raining)

I agree with everything you said except what I bolded. Your logic took a leap not backed up with facts.
