More like negligence. Failure to obey traffic laws.

No argument meant, but exactly WHAT ARE the "traffic laws" for the multi-modal paths ? I'm still confused about the "law" that covers how to reach the entrance of the tunnel that runs under 466 to the plaza which contains Publix, Ace hardware, Edible arrangements, etc. Previously, those in carts wishing to enter the tunnel, were to go to the end of Wedgwood, stop, wait for autos turning right onto Wedgwood, then proceed to turn left into the tunnel. Then some time ago, the left turn lane for golfcarts was eliminated, the area was was completely repainted with diagonal yellow stripes and a new sign indicated carts must go BEHIND the Edible Arrangements retail store, to the narrow incline that leads to the cart path, stop at the top of the incline for cross traffic, THEN enter the path with a left turn, stop before crossing Wedgwood's automobile traffic, then proceed across Wedgwood to the tunnel entrance. Now it appears to have changed once again. Carts now line up in the area with the diagonal yellow lines, and wait to turn left into the tunnel. but all signage to this effect has been removed. For people to obey the "laws", they do have to be made aware of them ! According to one source (Rules of the Road), areas of yellow diagonal lines on a road or street are VIRTUAL barriers, or medians, no vehicles are to enter. So it's very confusing now that carts are once again to line up in this area to turn left into the tunnel ! And, yes, I DO realize why the rule changed, it also became a bit hazardous when carts lined up on an incline and blocked parking lot traffic, behind the Edible Arrangements building ! No good solutions ? Many such examples all over the Villages... and the rules, it seems, differ depending on jurisdiction ?
