People….around the town squares do NOT walk in between the golf carts or cars to cross the street!!! Use the corner cross walk areas to cross the street! Drivers are very courteous to allow you to cross at those crosswalks and that will allow you to safely get to the other side of the street! But…when you come walking into the street from in between cars and or golf carts the cars or golf carts on the street don’t always see you right away ‘jaywalking’ across the street! Just last night saw two couples nearly get hit because they just walked right across the middle of the street at Lake Sumter Landing thinking any cars or golf carts would see them and stop and allow them to cross. Again….there are crossing areas at each corner so walk a few extra steps to the corner or ‘crossing’ area and be safe! You only have to get hit once to ruin your quality of life!
That’s it….that’s your safety tip of the day! Be safe, stay safe, around the Villages!
