While my post was mostly in jest (I know this never could/would happen), the large majority of these pipes are at the entrance to the cart paths and many of them say "STOP" on them. Carts or cars should (and I know should is the operative word here) be going slowly when they pass by these pipes. I don't know if cart paths can be compared to streets with break-away street lights, but obviously there are some drivers in TV who cannot tell the difference between streets and cart paths.

I'm not 100% certain (its been a while since I've been on the cart paths, someone correct me if I'm wrong), but I seem to remember some iron posts separating the golf course cart path from the multi-modal path (Buena Vista).

Well on one of our visits we ended up in the circle at LSL in the golf cart because we saw the sign that said no "cars" and we thought it said no "carts". It was our first venture out, unfortunately no one tried to help us get out, people just kept yelling at us and calling us idiots, we wondered where all the friendly people were. Fortunately we did get out and have meet a lot of friendly people.

We thought then that the posting should have said autos, not cars.

Speed limit in the roundabouts is 20mph, so no harm, no foul... It happens. You're not gonna die in a roundabout . . .
