Default Tunnel at Sarasota and Morse Blvd

If you are going S. on your Golf cart to Sarasota driving range or Starter shack., please be extra careful turning left. On coming traffic of Golf carts under the tunnel is very hard to see. There are no stop signs, so if you are turning left and continue without stopping you could be T boned, by a cart coming out of the tunnel, which happened today, As we were heading into the tunnel I heard a cart slam his brakes and go up on two wheels as another cart was turning left to go toward Sarasota, there is no stop sign at the intersection and if you don't slow down and look there is a good chance of being hit. There is stop sign as you are headed N,toward Colony and before the entrance to Sarasota course but not coming out of the tunnel. This is truly an accident waiting to happen. At least put a speed bump to slow carts down. This was extremely poor planning and needs to be addressed, it should be a two way stop from out of the tunnel and a stop to Sarasota

Perhaps a "Yield" sign would help at that intersection.

I agree completely with Nana. They should have a stop sign coming out of the tunnel. It is an accident waiting to happen.
