The light stops the vehicle traffic on Colony Blvd. but what about the golf carts traveling northbound straight across Colony Blvd? They have the right-of-way and will definitely reduce the number of carts that can make the left turn. Last winter I observed 10-15 carts backed up on the path. The light will help a little but the only way to improve this would be to have the light for the northbound carts stay red to awhile while the light for the southbound carts is green.
Maybe we could have Community Watch come back to direct traffic..............
