Guess I need to do a "forum search" on those, too, before the cart arrives.

One quick question *does* come to mind, though. Is it difficult for cart drivers to keep their wheels inside that white line that separates the cart/auto lanes within the neighborhoods? Have noticed that some seem to have difficulty with that. My sense would've been that the difference in size of the types of vehicles involved would've made staying within the lane a rather high priority.

I can imagine how rotten it would feel to hit a cart with your car, regardless of who's fault it was, but running over the bumps on the yellow lines is not always feasible, depending on oncoming traffic. I'm finding myself on pins and needles driving in such lane situations. Any tips? Is it just not something to worry about? Probably shoulda just done the search, eh? :-)

Staying on the proper side of the white line should not be difficult for carts or cars. The lanes are plenty wide for standard carts and I've noticed there is ample space for the wider carts as well. The only area where the lanes are tight is the golf cart lanes on the bridge over Lake Sumter - there is still enough space but there isn't much to spare.

That said, I have seen both carts and cars having difficulty staying in their lane. This shouldn't be a problem but it seems to be for some. In these cases I really feel the issue is more with the operator than with the width of the lanes.
