No one stops and pedestrians are at risk.

To The Villages credit , they addressed this issue in two days, erecting a stop sign, and repainting the roadway signage.

The amazing thing was that golf carts didn't even stop while the sign was being erected. Tonight, as I was walking, I observed golf carts speeding through the new sign. I guess the only thing that would give pedestrians a chance , is the removal of the shrubs and perhaps a speed bump.

I know there are a lot of signs the golf carts ignore in the neighborhood but there are some that are an accident waiting to happen.

If you travel this path, please consider the safety need. Don't be the cause of ruining someone's well being.

Removal of some shrubs, good idea. Speed bump, not so good. That is a sharp right turn and you have to go slow anyways. Next thing they'll want to do is put up a gate with a little red button. I don't stop for that stop sign, I think it's totally unnecessary. And no, I'm not one of the "Entitled"
