Default finally removed

CDD 6 supervisors vote to remove controversial speed bumps
The speed bumps to be removed are located near the entrance to the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter and near a starter shack located near a tunnel at Mallory Hill Country Club

Removing the speed bumps at Bridgeport at Lake Sumter may not be good idea, as they provide a cautionary slowdown. The one at Mallory.... good riddance.

Those deep drainage ditches are more than enough to get you to slow down. They work at all the other gates.

Carts were not stopping when the speed bumps were there....................now they will ignore the stop and yield sign all together. Look for and accident or a fist fight to occur soon.

Different because of the gate placement.
Carts and cars should drive with caution......but they don't at this intersection.

actually I think that is the best gate placement in TV the gate stops the CARS before they can exit their village....in most of the others the cars just barrel thru the golf cart crossover and up to the gate

My bet's on the one leading into the tunnel by Mallory. There will be a cart slam into the tunnel wall or an out going cart in no time. I watched someone almost flip a cart on that speed bump leading into the tunnel.People just don't pay attention to what they are doing.

In which case they will just barrel through the cart crossing when ENTERING their village, often times off a higher speed road such as BV or Morse. Ideally, they could offset the gates so they are before the cart crossing both entering and exiting. For example, at Hillsborough and BV, all they would have to do is move the exit gate 30 feet further east, just don't extend the gate across the cart lane

The one in question is positioned before the cart crossing when entering and exiting.

Entrance to Bridgeport? Sorry, but both gates are beyond the cart crossing
