I agree about the new risk of being thrown from the cart. There are two other new ones that made me raise my eyebrows. One on Morse south by Caroline and one on 466 as you head west past the curves past the sheriff's office.

I know what they were trying to do, but IMO they have created these new launch ramps which if hit would be worse that the object (tree) they were protecting us from hitting. To me a nice reflecting sign (JMO)

I will take pictures if I think about it...

PS. No I am not calling anyone, I will live with it happily, just adding my 2 cents to a conversation for fun...
