2. Actively engage the Sumter County officials to point out the differences between this section of Morse Blvd, versus several of the other similar roads, so they understand the local residents concerns.
3. Perhaps install additional signage (the developer??) indicating this is potentially a hazardous area, and to SLOW DOWN.
4. Get a suitable group of people together that well represents the affected villagers, and work with the developer and the county for a permanent solution.
I think you have an excellent start here with various options and opinions, all of which seem to be very supportive of a fix being required.
I live in this area and I have no desire for the speed limit to be lowered. a single accident of a golf cart turning in front of an oncoming vehicle does not make a road dangerous. armchair recommendations are not wanted or necessary, particularly from people who do not live in this area.
