New speed bumps....
 
...aka the new patches of asphalt on the MMP parallel to 466A; wow, they are rough. The Villages subtle way to slow carts down.

I agree. And, I drove my cart over them last week after those areas had been dug out but not yet repaved. That was a real jarring experience!!

Has the final course of asphalt been laid?

Yea there's one on Morse Blvd N/B before Stillwater also. A real shocker.

It's just a very poor "patch job" and workmanship, further, whoever is responsible should be made to do it over. I wonder who is "monitoring"?

My guess is that the speed bumps would not have been necessary were it not for the reckless drivers. It's a shame that a few have to spoil it for all.

I wonder how it would feel doing say 17mph at night and you hit the bump. Besides a jarring experience, possible damage to your cart and perhaps some spinal or neck injury. Wonder if anyone will take on the liability. Oh yes there is Morgan and Morgan. Looks to me there was a significant lack of any sensible, reasonable thought prior to the installation of the bumps. :grumpy:

They are nasty little dips.Looks like landscapers worked on the irrigation,putting sprinklers in the median.

LOL....these aren't speed bumps, just poorly paved patches that feel like speed bumps.

CritterLover 04-04-2016 01:35 PM

LOL! That would do it, for sure!

Darn.....That's the only place I can get my cart up to 20.2 mph.

The Village also has ample concrete swells that play havoc with a cart because they dip so much. I purchased my club cart new in 2006 and in 2008 hit one of those swells at the wrong ankle . I called my repair guy and found that the cast iron mounting on my wheel broke in half.

Swelling at the ankle..........hmmmmmm, you should see a specialist for that......Now, let me tell you about proof reading.....:throwtomatoes::boom:
