This thread is a predictable repeat just as round-a-bouts, slow pace of play golfers, idiot car drivers . And with a few word substitutes your going to read the same comments.
The reality is that The Villages vast expansion and the increase in the number of golf carts equate to growing pangs . Sensible adaptations must be achieved.
Bureaucrats like rules for the sake of rules. Rules should consider unintended consequences. Golf cart drivers are traveling greater distances now . Safety is always the first consideration . Passing a slow moving cart is no different than passing a slowing moving car. It is an essential option to prevent bottlenecks The operative word in passing is "safe passing".
Speed limit is a goldilock term too slow and bottlenecks and agitated drivers materialize. Too fast and safety is breached. So we seek just right. The Villages brags about the miles and miles of multi-modal paths. People talk about top speeds but never seem to consider the average speed attained on multi-modal paths. They seem more aware of the pace of play than average speeds on multi-modal paths?
A black Yamaha going 40 mph on Buena Vista sheds no light on the reality of what is occurring on multi-modal pathways.
