The curb was not defined and I didn't see it. So as soon as I went up the ramp my tires were on the edge of the curb and my cart went over the curb, tilting off the curb. Somehow I managed to right myself before the cart tipped over, but I was quite nervous and shaken up after that. Why don't they paint that curb to set it apart from the sidewalk and cart lane, they all blended together. I realize that I didn't have that problem on the northbound lane because there is no sidewalk on the opposite of that lane.
were you going faster than the posted 10mph limit?
