IMO the villages could manage the roundabout better by not planting shrubs and annuals that grow too tall and block vision of normal height cars.

IMO waste of money planting annuals at entry of roundabouts and very dangerous for the maintenance crews and traffic while doing this.
Why not just plant shrubs that don't grow too tall blocking vision when I look left to see traffic? the extra benefit LESS MAINTENANCE and COSTs. Course somebody going to say but it's so pretty. Give me break it will just as pretty with pretty LITTLE shrub  .
Certain percentage of vehicles and NOT going to yield to motorcycles due to they don't care or motorcycle/scooter in their blind spot. |
I wholeheartedly agree! One of my pet peeves with The Villages is all the pretty landscaping that create traffic hazards, and it's not just in the roundabouts. It's everywhere, including the businesses on the edge. Have you ever tried to leave the Walmart parking lot? I've actually gone to the service counter a couple of times and asked them to please consider trimming the shrubs down. And pulling into the hospital and medical offices from El Camino is really bad, too. Just a couple of examples.
