Traffic circles
 
I think it would be a great idea to include traffic circles for golf cart paths!

Now if you taking about MB out to 441 or Spanish springs few even drive 25 MPH max down that stretch which IMO most dangerous street in villages. Those streets are through roads through the villages, villagers not the only ones using them.

Went to a friends house last night. I was on 466A from Morse to Buena Vista.
Just before I got to Buena Vista there was a golf cart that wasn't street legal turning from 466A to Buena Vista. He was still putting along when I passed him on BV.

There is one near Laurel Manor where the short section of the Buena Vista rec trail intersects with the rec path on 466

Your comment makes no sense because you have not told us what CV is.

Well, the "super hesitant and overly defensive drivers" are not going to change the way they drive, so I guess you better learn how to deal with them.

Also one just east of Brownwood Paddock Station and one or two south of 44...

If they would just set a speed check once a month in a different area (without notice) and nail everyone one of these self centered drivers with a citation things would change. The slogan, "The Friendliest Home Town," died a number of years ago. It was never like this 15 to 20 years ago.

Nothing is like it was 15 to 20 years ago. Actually I like it 50 plus years ago. But, can never go back, never.

It happens this way every year when the renters and snowbird owners come. They bring their frustrations with them and HAVE to hurry. They are only here for a short while. Drive defensively and come April, things will go back to normal.....

"Normal" has the same problems. Just a bit less often because there are less people...

Thank goodness you don't have any driving problems the other 9 months a year.

There was a fatal crash on Buena Vista yesterday. I'm betting that you will now see a Sumter County Sheriff's deputy car monitoring speed on Buena Vista fairly regularly for a month or so. Then crickets.
