Totally agree. We use that section of Morse on a daily basis and have never had an accident but can see that some people would find some bits scary. My experience is that speeding vehicles cause most problems (especially near the gates - totally ignoring the reduced speed limit there) and they come up so fast. There should be more policing of the posted limits, and maybe make the "reduced" limit signs more visible.
My suggestion for the "bottom" of Morse near 466 would be to have the cart path pull off to the right then sharp left to abut Morse, at which point carts would have to give way to traffic coming along Morse before crossing those lanes to the middle.
At the junction with San Marino, going north on Morse and wanting to turn left, if the traffic behind us is just too crazy we turn right on San Marino then do a 180° and wait for the lights to turn green. Takes more time but safer than trying to pull out into fast-moving traffic that refuses to give way to golf carts.
No cheap/easy solution for coming out of the Post Office and turning left, but at least the Morse/San Marino lights should turn red in a reasonable time and give you a temporary break from traffic from the left, at least.
Little point in spending $millions which no-one is happy to pay and end up with something that is overly complicated.
