The real safety issue here is the golf cart lane ends at this golf cart crossing mentioned and Golf Carts need to merge into the main road only to slowly turn right immediately after. I’ve been asking for an “off ramp“ for two years now… the developer has deaf ears.

Meggison Freeway’s main issue is speed. There are no roundabouts for several miles (a Villager’s dream) and fighting for poll positions between golf carts and cars is continuous (car thinks they always have to win). That mentality of “It’s just a golf cart, I speed up” will never disappear. Serious accidents are bound to come.

Maybe at least one or two of the (9 ea) unmarked new Wildwood police cars makes it to patrol the northwest side of the gates on 4 lane Meggison?
