Nor would he imagine that anyone would be out riding the paths at 2 am and later. It is way past time to have golf cart registrations and golf cart patrols that have the authority to enforce the rules and levy fines for these offenders. Enough is enough. It is beyond out of hand and people are being injured daily.
1. Driving and parking on the grass. 2. These are transportation vehicles not golf carts. Some have never been on a golf course. 3. Challenging a car at a crossing gate.

What do you say?
I say no to:
MORE government
MORE laws
MORE regulations

I don't care if someone drives their cart at 22 and passes me
I don't care if they park on the grass and go fishing or play with rover
I don't care if they are out at 2 AM

I don't think people are being injured DAILY
I don't think LEDs on carts light up rooms.
I don't think bikes and pedestrians are being run off the MMPs regularly

Why do you???

So here's a suggestion:

Have shades or curtains on your bedroom windows and draw them at night (which if you live that close to a MMP you should have already
Don't have a cow if someone passes you or parks on the grass or was out late.
Basically it NOYB, and you'll live longer.

As far as the only legitimate part of the post goes (stop signs), it seems no one (carts, bikes, cars, motorcycles, skateboards, roller blades, scooters, segways, etc.) comes to a complete stop anymore. Good luck enforcing that one.
