And stop your cart at the stop sign………………

I wonder how many gates will get crashed when they are put back up ?

...and some idiots are actually advocating getting rid of all the gates. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue?

This is one very significant reason for the gate attendants being there, slow people down.

Great idea !!!!

I think you meant the Department of the National Redundancy Department...

Speed bumps are a clumsy, unsophisticated answer to a problem that punishes 95% of the people for the actions of 5% of the people. The money to pave the speed bumps would be better spent on gate cameras or more Police protection.

Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm in agreement. Is the world ending?

I agree. A good description of the problem. Practically a 3rd world solution.

This will likely happen several times during Hurricane Season.

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.
