IMO it is the worst designed cart path in TV. It is the only place I feel like even if I drive defenselessly I am at the mercy of the cart coming from the other direction. There is no bailout. Some of these carts are pedal to the medal, completely unaware how easily and sharply a cart can veer when it hits a curb.
The solution to me would have been to not have a RAISED sidewalk, but since I am not a bridge designer, that may not have been an option....
Go slow and hope the folks coming at you are headed TO happy hour, not the FROM 
PS. Two years ago I was passed while on that bridge. As the man went by between me and the sidewalk at 14 MPH, I simply yelled in YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND!! He never looked over. When we got off the bridge his cart went 17-18 MPH tops. If this was a movie, I would have had my wife take the wheel as he passed, boarded his cart, slapped him around and then got back in my cart and zoom away at 19.6  |
Wow...AJ...I was going to post that I agree with every word of your post and then I read the last paragraph.
AND...after thinking about it some more.
I still agree with every word of your post.
It is posted ten miles an hour and if you drive it at that speed you are
fairly safe. It is
too narrow, Mr. Gary Morse. And I am a
HUGE fan.
