Obviously, the solution is traffic tickets. Small infractions must be eliminated or they will lead to greater and greater infractions. Pretty soon driving would be a LAWLESS situation like some 3rd world countries. A high-tech solution might be possible like cameras at the gates. Or some newer tech solution?

For right now the immediate and ideal solution would be MORE Police patrols. The Villages NEEDS to be a golf car community for many reasons. That ALL goes away if people do NOT feel safe while driving in a golf car. The whole Villages IMAGE goes up in smoke with FEAR of using golf cars. Villagers PAY extra for freedom from the fear of overly aggressive drivers that KNOWINGLY speed and forgo stop signs. Villages also pay for less crime in general. So, more Police patrols and more tickets handed out would benefit the 95% of the law-abiding Villagers. People need to be more vocal in their demands for the security that they have already paid for!

Finally an issue that can't be blamed on snowbirds...slow down frogs!!! :crap2::crap2::crap2:

I agreed with you re: speed humps.

However, why am I not surprised that your solution is MORE police, MORE government, MORE laws, rules and regulations? Big government is not the solution to everything, nor is more taxation, more spending, more programs and more hand outs.

I like it without the gates. Traffic moves more smoothly. As far as stop signs on the street at the gates, we really don't need them. However, the STOP signs for the golf carts are still there, but I'm sure that most people don't even notice them. They are at the street crossings at all the gates.

golfing eagles -- thank you for your kind words and concern.

They probably figured the wind would take them down before the cars do! That I've seen happen!:clap2:

Hey. We can bet an over/under on that!:coolsmiley:

I am going to guess that you are a newbie. They are always removed prior to the threat of severe weather to prevent them from being possible projectiles. Whether they are there or have been removed, it is always wise to slow down before entering a community. People walk, some with their dogs or children/grands. Most of us are retired so I can’t understand why everyone is always in such a hurry anyway.

Well, he did join the forum over two years before you did, so there's that...

Seriously???? I'm a newbie????? That's rich!

Let's see, lived here 6+ years, 7400+ posts on TOTV with 4900+ thanks for posting.

Of course I know why the gates are down, I was reminding those who don't know. The little stop signs on stands that go up when a gate is down is not a great idea for an approaching hurricane, but they have put stop signs on the gate shacks in the past. In either case, the point was to remind everyone to be careful

I love a good speed hump especially if it's a little rough. 😜
