I thought that maybe when I got to District 4, it would be better, but I could barely see the faded yellow center stripes. Maybe we do need white stripes along the sides after all. When I lived in England, I bought a pair of yellow driving glasses and it was unbelievable how much better I could see at night, but my solution will be to not get caught out after dark in the golf cart again.
OP, I recently drove my golf cart at night from Brownwood to the Village of LaBelle via Bunea Vista Blvd, Hillsborough Trail and Moyer Loop while using two tunnels along the way without any issues. I have not driven the route you travelled.

As you know, in south TV, we do not have center lines or white line side striping. I will say, we have a relative new golf cart with led headlights and perhaps that makes a bit of difference.

I am surprised that the yellow center striping has faded so quickly in District 4. Some are concerned about the cost of maintenance of the striping of the trails over time.
