There is never enough of a gap in traffic to safely make your turn or go straight across Colony.

IMHO a sign indicating "Golf Cart Crossing" is a waste of sheet metal as it will do absolutely nothing to aid the cart traffic crossing or turning onto Colony.

"Golf Cart Crossing" sign I agree will do absolutely nothing and is a waste! Few, if any, pay any attention to these signs and it will do nothing to aid the cart traffic crossing or turning onto Colony Blvd.
