That's true enough, and thousands of people are killed or injured because people don't or can't anticipate the actions of others. To invite automobiles to begin sharing cart lanes, I believe, is a big mistake. There are thousands and thousands of golf carts driving along with a sense of some security that they have their own lane, when suddenly, there's a car, garbage truck or UPS truck pulling into what they thought was their right of way. Unregistered carts are not permitted in the traffic lane, so the assumption is that registered automobiles are not suppose to be in the cart lane.

If it's gonna be that way, make it that way. Inform everybody and stop calling it a golf cart lane.
