Bike42... Have you or others from the bike club gotten the official stance from the Villages public safety or property management folks? Are they using these guidelines to implement a change they want to do? The expense doesn't seem worth it and this change, requiring golf carts to stop at the gates, is sure to slow down traffic flow.
My reading of the MUTCD and the opinion of a retired FHWA engineer is that the Villages would have a good case to request an exemption from the new guidelines. Our situation here is unique enough not to fall within the intent of the new guidelines.
