People meander around slowly enough but they have their heads up their you know whats.

I agree with this poster! I see the golf-cart drivers paying more attention to trying to find a parking spot or to see what's happening inside the square (entertainers etc) than what's in front of them. I've actually see both carts and cars/trucks going way too fast in this area as well. THEN factor in the meandering pedestrians...some alone, some in groups, some with children and pets in tow as well. I'm surprised more accidents don't happen there!!! (factor in the alcohol consuption and it's a recipe for disaster)
