Obviously, the solution is traffic tickets. Small infractions must be eliminated or they will lead to greater and greater infractions. Pretty soon driving would be a LAWLESS situation like some 3rd world countries. A high-tech solution might be possible like cameras at the gates. Or some newer tech solution?
For right now the immediate and ideal solution would be MORE Police patrols. The Villages NEEDS to be a golf car community for many reasons. That ALL goes away if people do NOT feel safe while driving in a golf car. The whole Villages IMAGE goes up in smoke with FEAR of using golf cars. Villagers PAY extra for freedom from the fear of overly aggressive drivers that KNOWINGLY speed and forgo stop signs. Villages also pay for less crime in general. So, more Police patrols and more tickets handed out would benefit the 95% of the law-abiding Villagers. People need to be more vocal in their demands for the security that they have already paid for!
