I had a close call on Morse while making a right hand turn, I was the one driving the car the guy with the soiled shorts was driving the golf cart. I had my turn signal on well in advance to worn the cart drivers of my intent. At this point I know something is not right, the next day I went to the Sheriff’s office on 466 and talked to the man. He said, “I pull into the cart lane so the carts can not pass me when I am making a right turn. The carts have the right of way but you can enter the lane because it is defined by a white line not a yellow line”. After that explanation and my concerns being put to rest, I was about to walk out the door I then decided to share my thoughts about round-d-rounds with the Sheriff, for that I got a pamphlet with colored diagrams. In my mind a round-d-round should be one lane but then what do I know.

So bottom line duffysmom the Sheriff agrees with you as do I.
