simple solution, will cost a few $$
I am young, don't have night vision problems and you are correct. Your car drives on relatively well lit roads with street lights and raised light colored curbs and lots of cat's eyes or Botts dots in the road (those reflectors enbedded in the roadbed). The roads are relatively straight and don't have islands in the middle of the roadway that require that you move right to stay in the driving lane (or at least not often) None of these comments are applicable to the cart paths. The paths have no lighting, are designed to be wavy and have lane diverting islands and no reflectors or curbing (which might be worse as people would hit the curb and flip rather than go into the grass). I have seen the occasional cat's eye on curves. It would be helpful if there were cats eyes everywhere on the paths. I don't know the $$ but it shouldn't be prohibitive. No matter how clear your windshield, your pupils which are wide open driving in the dark will constrict when an oncoming cart shines its lights at you thus reducing significantly your ability to see. Alternatively a bright reflective white stripe could be painted on the right edge of the entire path giving your eye a guiding line in the dark. Save a life, prevent an injury
