These are public roads, so golf carts have to yield to all cars until the road is 100% clear. No matter if its 10 cars in a row - golf cart cannot enter the road and impede a car in any manner. Gates do not alter the law; and do not give golf carts the right to enter a road in front of a car at a gate. Carts required to wait.
These are public roads, so speed bumps are not allowed here. Making a profit from a gate arm strike is also not allowed (interesting that TV may be doing that now, and could be heading for a class action lawsuit)

I particularly agree with the statement advising " to clear away landscaping that is blocking line of sight. I see that often on the round-a-bouts there is landscaping blocking drivers' vision. I know of one swimming pool where to exit safely a driver must SLOWLY move out into about the middle of a street to be able to see around an overgrown plant. There is a resident owner that has a hedge that blocks the view of drivers leaving the parking area near the silver lake tennis court, rec center, and golf course - it is so OBVIOUS but nothing has been done in my 10 years here. Also, at the Shay Gate in the pre-historic village, there needs to be some land removed from the Church there in order to allow a smooth right turn from up the hill toward the Rec center.
........I could go on and on with simple fixes that would make for better traffic safety in TV Land. And I am sure that other residents in OTHER Villages could SUGGEST safety fixes that are CHEAP to expedite. I have NEVER understood why the Community Standards drivers are UNABLE to make these types of suggestions and get them approved. After all, I doubt that they are that busy as they leisurely drive around.
