Sadly, this is a common complaint and issue, especially in the new neighborhoods. I'm pretty cautious in my golf cart in general but even more so when driving on a main street where I'm sharing the road. When I have to drive on Hillsborough or another main drag with construction, I hold my breath.

I know you won't like this, but here are a couple of suggestions to make you a little safer: take Pinellas as much as possible. Cut across Charlotte or Anne Maria, whichever is closer to your destination. Try not to be on the road early in the morning, lunch time or quitting time. It is inconvenient but much safer and repeat this mantra, "This too shall pass. Buildings almost done here." I say this through gritted teeth a lot.
