The removal of the one on the west side of the tunnel, near the starter shack, at Mallory...is much appreciated.

That's exactly what was done. The OP was completely vague.

From the online news site:
Community Development District 5 supervisors have rendered a decision on the fate of the speed bumps on the multi-modal path at the entrance to the Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter.
<snip>
The board unanimously agreed to remove the pair of speed bumps at the entrance.

“I’m glad that matter has been resolved. It has lingered a long time,” said CDD 5 Chairman Walter Martin.

CDD 5 supervisors also agreed to remove the speed bump at the tunnel between Palmer Legends Country Club and the Bridgeport of Lake Miona.

The speed bumps will be removed within a month. It will likely take place at night when there is less traffic.

This also was a part of the announcement regarding the bumps at the gate.

“They did a great job,” CDD 5 Supervisor Jerry Knoll said at Friday morning’s board meeting.
“Now it goes back to individual automobile operator, golf cart operator and bicycle operator to be responsible,” he added.

(golf cart operator's are not responsible with the speed bumps, without the bumps they will not even slow down)

Unfortunately many of the entitled Golf Cart drivers do not recognize that cars have the right of way. They treat Stop signs as “suggestions”. Being that I am somewhat pessimistic, I would be willing to wager that we will be reading about a car/cart accident at this location within 90 days...

I am not sure of that. There have been no car /cart accidents since they took the gates down. I wonder if we need fewer hindrances and stricter punishments for failing to heed traffic signs, etc.

If I remember correctly, there was a resident killed by a golf cart at the Bridgeport gate.
And then the gate safety became a focus point.

Depends on who gets to 4 way stop first? Yes, carts do have the right way sometimes. Vehicles also don't to stop at stop signs either. In fact most roll through stops sign, your NOT in line till you stop if other cars are at the intersection at four way stop, but STOP before entering roundabout WHEN NOTHING is coming.

Once those driving cars understand the community they live in the better chance of safety.....unfortunatly many car drivers haven't figured out right of way in the round a bouts so why would we assume they would understand the community.

This is not a four way stop.
