I refer specifically to the folks who live in Bridgeport at Miona Shores - they have to cross Rainey Trail (speed limit: 35mph) to get to golf cart trails leading north OR south - no other way out of that Village. Shouldn't there be signs up that say, "No Golf Carts Past This Point" (as there are in other locations in TV) on both Lynnhaven Lane and the entrance/exit to Miona Shores? Yes, I'm aware that LSV's are exempt. That is a dangerous road to cross - been here 10 years now and seldom see anyone doing 35mph there, and have seen several close calls with golf carts crossing RT. Does this new rule change that access there, and perhaps elsewhere?
Could also be addressing the people that cross Rolling Acres to get to the Lady Lake driving range and access the Villages MMP system.
