Does anyone know there were 10 fatal golf carts accidents in the last 5 years or the number of non fatal accidents that happen, (about 2 a month)..
There was one today on the cart path that runs next to 466. Couple of ambulances. I believe it is questionable to believe all will drive the carts safely if you just ask them..It is responsible to point out potential accident areas and ask for some correction. All of those who drive from Lake Sumter across the bridge should look to their right at the inside of the small curb and the number of "tire marks"..I think that speaks for itself. ![]() |

A far simpler solution would be to reduce the width of the sidewalk to create space to widen the cart lanes. So what if the few walkers have to be inconvenienced by walking single file. |

If drivers would go 10 MPH as is posted, the path would not be dangerous and would not be required to be any wider.

The bridge golf cart lanes are big enough,and the speed is fine.

As is in most cases if people follow the rules its fine, But in real life its not always the case, Folks remember your 14 year old grand kids can legally drive your cart across that bridge, Do you feel comfortable letting them drive across it especially without you in the cart, Its legal, For me lets widen that lane.

I agree 100%. Cars barrel over that bridge and those little cement barriers will not stop a vehicle traveling that fast from jumping over into the golf cart lanes. This is a horrible accident just waiting to happen.

In this thread, there are 2 opposing camps of opinion on whether the cart path over the bridge is safe.
My opinion is that the path is not safe no matter what the speed. The path is just wide enough for the carts but the large concrete barrier on the roadway side can easily cause anyone who touches it to bounce or overcorrect and end up in the wrong lane of the cart path. I would like to see improvements made so that I don't have to cross the bridge in trepidation. Today's design is poor and represents a risk to all who use it.

the sumter bridge width is the same as the bridge over 27 to the historical side. no complaints there. maybe its the people living on the southern side that causes the problem. younger and aggresive from up north. they havnt settled into the lifestyle yet!!!

Regarding the comment that the bridge over 27 is the same width and it is the "age" of the person's on the south side.
It is pretty clear the bridge over 27 does not have car's going by at close range and at variable speeds. Big difference and quite a simple recognition. ![]() |

you couldnt be more wrong. when carts go down the other side they are going VERY fast. its all about attitude!!

The intersections off St. Charles have been the sites of accidents in the past year. I don't recall an accident on the Morse bridge for carts.

![]() The golf cart bridge over 441/27 scares me. You can't see who is ascending from the other side and they can't see you.
