I agree with you and I don't know how the politics of such works, but if we really are a city, isn't it about time we had a city police force or something such as SCC has with the authority to do something. I, too, don't like being regulated to death; but, it seems as though something needs to be done. We are only growing larger and larger and with the growth more problems are bound to arise. As that article pointed out, some people are bound to go against whatever is right whether in their car or cart....rules are for everyone but them. There are plenty of speeders here and not only in their carts. Drive on Buena Vista at the speed limit and see the glares you get for it. It's ok with me...let 'em glare. My theory is: Just leave home earlier. Example: I got honked at one day for not pulling out into an intersection to complete a left-hand turn on red. If I was going to have to finish turning on red, then that lady behind me would have had to turn on red. When we did get to turn on the next green, she went tearing around me and then turned into Laurel Manor Rec Center, not one of the medical facilities across the street.
