Who has the Right-of-Way????
On the West end of Pinellas Pl, for the Palmetto Executive Course, there is a crossing. Between holes one & two and between holes 8 & 9.
So is this a golf cart crossing and the carts must yield OR Is this a pedestrian crossing and cars must yield?? or or...............does it depend if the golfer is walking vs. riding. :gc: |

We always walk that course and we have the sense to yield to the cars and bikes going along Pinellas.

So it gets down to: Who gets there first?? Good Luck with that. Not sure Morgan & Morgan could get you $1mil . |

Some Bozo pushed his cart out into the crosswalk and I was less than 20 feet away, traveling at 25mph. |

Dewie Cheatum and How is at your service 24/7.
If the law is on your side we pound the law, if not we pound the table. Either way we are on your side. Unless of course we get a better offer. |
Doesn’t matter. It’s every man, and woman, for themselves

I believe the signs say Golf Cart Crossing so they are not crosswalks. Just as a sidenote since we're in the area, there is a guy in a 4 seater brown Yamaha that thinks it's okay to cross 466A to get to Culvers. I've seen him do it twice so maybe a Deputy leaving the station will show him the error of his ways with the $500 unregistered motor vehicle ticket.

Don't be silly, we do not ticket the Villagers, might upset them! If he does it often enough someone will take him out and no ticket required. |
Your cart should have a video camera. Send to authorities.

Not just there but I go by cars need to yield to pedestrians and golf carts need to yield to both.

As a 40+ yrs retired doc , working in trauma hospitals It’s simple, in physical match, car vs pedestrian or golf cart. Car always win.
You can’t sue for $1M if you are dead. |

No one entity ALWAYS has the right of way, it depends on the situation. Golf carts are motor vehicles and have the same rules as cars except for speed limits and the type of road they can drive upon. The most obvious examples are the merge points------like any merge, the vehicle on the road has the right of way over the merging vehicle. NOT because it is a golf cart, but because they are merging. However, the signs before a merge require the car to slow down to 20 mph. That means if the merging cart has a 100-200 foot lead, they can legally merge. The car has no right to speed up to 40 to race ahead. |
Crossing 466A
I have seen Golf Carts crossing 466A NOT Legal !!!!
|
As a pedestrian I yield for all if it's close or even 20 feet away depending on speed. I walk around outside like I can wait when it comes to moving vehicles. No looking at phone, and don't wanna be dead right. Let 'em go. If it gets to where I'm waiting for many in one area, haven't gotten to that point yet, but that's where the traffic light helps.

A car travelling at 30 mph is going 44 feet/sec, at 20 mph it's 29 ft/sec. For your own safety, please revise your distances. |
