These cart paths have pavers as they are in the squares....have we not observed folks who just continue walking on these w/o looking both ways first?! Yes, to the fact that pedestrians have the "right of way" BUT I was taught always look both left and right then left again before proceeding...this in walking and in driving!
Notgolfer: I agree----We must all drive our golf carts from a defensive stand point. Cart vs. Car guess who comes out on the short end?
