Default Cart path at Morse and El Camino

Since I am fairly new to the Villages, year and a half full time and one year with golf cart, I need a question answered, and this seems to be the place to go. I have noticed on several occasions’ golf carts going clockwise at above mentioned location. I am always trying to do things correctly and the safe way. It was my understanding that carts follow the same rules of the road as cars, stay to the right, and counter-clockwise at roundabouts. Is cart traffic two ways on this location? If I am wrong, please enlighten me.

You are correct. Carts should enter from the right and go counterclockwise. It is one directional.

That particular area is so busy with traffic & carts..especially during season & so many people in carts who are impatient. Please be careful & always remember vehicles have the right of way.

You have it right. Just don't try to tell the others they're doing it wrong. They get rather testy about it.

Everyone likes to think that their way is the right way.

Until they get T-boned and discover they are the ones issued the ticket for being in the wrong lane.

It would be nice if cars making a right turn off roundabouts would give a signal, not that you would want to trust a signal. Cars are much bigger than us carts.
