What amazes me is that I will be almost touching the curb and the oncoming cart has both wheels on the center line and the driver has his knee sticking out. A hard knee can do a lot of damage to a golf cart at 20 mph, so you jokers suck your knees back in! My wife and I both slow to a crawl when we meet someone on the bridge.

And a golf cart can do a lot of damage to a hard need at 20 miles per hour. There have been a fair share of broken bones as a result of knees sticking out.

LSV's can use Buena Vista, thank goodness!

I hate that bridge, and really use it only when I'm taking papers to the recycling dumpster at Hope Lutheran Church!

Yes, the sign says a speed limit of 10 mph, but, please tell me, how many golf carts actually have a speedometer?????????

Too bad the bridge doesn't fall within the guidelines of the current cart path remodeling happening north of CR466!

Maybe later on, we can agitate for improvement!

Amphibious golf carts. No bridge necessary but look out for the gators.

It is an adventure to cross the bridge anytime, but it gets really interesting when you are faced with one of those over sized carts with the huge wing-like mirrors hanging out to the side!

Aren't LSV's and golf carts the same width???...gn

When I approach the bridge and it is empty, I go full speed to get past it before another cart approaches from the other direction. If a cart approaches I slow almost to a crawl till I pass. Even then I can smell the drivers breath as we barely scrape by.

P.S. Like your pic on the wing.

The Tomberlin and the Par Car are 47.25 inches wide - the same width as Yamaha and Club Car Golf Carts. The GEM is an entirely different matter with a width of 55". Hope this helps.

Getting back to the pedestrian path on the bridge. There is no marked pedestrian path on either end of the bridge. People can walk on the paths because the paths are multimodal. So, why would a dedicated pedestrian path be required to go over the bridge taking valuable golf cart space away?

Cart paths may be multimodal, but if walking on the bridge path and you find carts coming from both directions, someone is going to be in the way. The sidewalk over the bridge allows walkers the opportunity to stop, look out over the lake, watch the gators swimming, take pictures if they like....and not be holding up traffic or get injured.

Why don't the street legals get on Morse?....that solves one problem, now, if we can get everyone to drive careful in this small stretch, until developers remedy this accident" looking for a place to happen"....Actually it is not an "if" but "when"....Please everyone be careful! No need to race in paradise!

Speed bumps= lower speed.

[golf2140]

Speed bumps do not help with common sense!!!
