One of the things I like about The Villages is that while there may at times be workers or visitors parking at the curb in the daytime in residential districts, there are virtually no vehicles parked along the curb at night. That looks better, and it’s safer, especially for pedestrians. I know last night I nearly hit two pedestrians crossing the street in my neighborhood. They were crossing at an unlighted crosswalk wearing black clothes, and they were nearly invisible, as they were in the street but not in the beam of my lights. Fortunately, I was coming to a full stop at the stop sign and stopped before the crosswalk, but it was a shock for all of us. If they were stepping around a big truck parked in the street, who knows?
