Insurance, cost, who looks after them, etc. etc.
Believe this would be a Sumter County issue as it would be on a county road. In this case, Churchill Downs near the intersection with Livingston Loop in the Village of Lynnhaven. This is right near the Lynnhaven pool and mail center. They could put it on the stop sign as well. And walkers cross that road after getting their mail to go in either direction up or down Churchill Downs.

A few days ago a golf cart sped by that intersection on its way to the mail center with a speeding car right behind it. And a fire truck about 150 feet behind the car. The fire truck was not flashing its lights nor its horn but going at a good pace. It did slow down for the turn.

A lot of cars go way too fast around the bend. And if you add a fire truck into the mix it is a recipe for disaster.
