What happened to the idea of a stop light at the point where golf carts cross?

Probably discarded after everyone realized that many Villagers view stop signs and stop lights as purely advisory...

Car will have to leave the shopping center by way of CR466A. Cars can enter BB&T by entering off CR466A and taking a left at the Walgreen's corner. Golf carts can enter the Recreation Center, Shopping Center or tunnel by the existing path.
My fix is cheaper than.................................. $400,000 golf cart bridge.

And then listen to all the crabbing and whining when street traffic headed to Colony on Morse is backed up to the roundabout on Odell since they can't access by the former street.

I think a tunnel at this location would make more sense than an overhead bridge. Tunnels are safer and I think a tunnel would look better.

+1 on tunnels being safer and better looking, but simple 4-way stop signs would work and cost almost nothing compared to the other options. Just have the local police park a car there for a few days handing out tickets to those that don't follow the rules, and folks will start paying attention.

What makes tunnels safer than bridges?

Perhaps not inherently safer, but lets hope they make the bridge wider than the one going over 441/27. In my opinion, a tunnel would be less of an eye sore. I still stand behind placing a 4-way stop sign and giving that a try before spending mega bucks on a bridge or tunnel.

A 4 way stop wont resolve the problem. Whats wrong with spending the money to do it right? Bridge or tunnel they will both work.

As far as stop signs go it would be a mess at this location. People being too cautious and always waiting until the other parties go or worse that no one stops at the stop signs. Besides how many carts do u actually see come to a stop at the stop sign. Those who r turning right or turning left get mixed up. Plus then u have the Good Samaritans in the cars who wave everyone through and it just becomes a cluster &!@$. So a tunnel, even though more expensive but less obtrusive to the surrounding area is the best thing.

Ah. Now I get it. that makes total sense.

The Developer (wisely, IMO) has said he will not help pay for a bridge over Colony. He thinks a traffic signal or roundabout would do the trick and cost around $200,000, and he would kick in $100,000.

I never thought of a roundabout. If the roundabout is only one lane wide, this would be a very good idea.

See the article in the **************.

How does a roundabout work with golf carts? Seems that would be more congestion or confusion. A tunnel would make sense and be safer I would think, and besides, we are used to negotiating them!

smiley: Please, put 4-way stop signs in and just give it a try for a day, a week, a month. It couldn't cost much and ��just maybe it would work.

Why can't we just try some stop signs first. It's got to be the least expensive way out and if it don't work then we can move on to something else.
