yes I have something to add. Not everyone goes to the square in a golf cart, so it would be nice if the ones who do would try and park where there is another cart, instead of taking another space and leaves less places for cars.

Yes.
Carts are not allowed on the nature trails around Hogeye. |

There is a LOT of parking areas very near to ALL of the squares. We never have a hard time finding a great place to park.

Also, when walking - Single File and wear a Light! Be alert and ready to dodge vehicles.

I can't imagine how people survived before returning here for the winter. They are probably so pleased to be here where locals can advise how and where to eat, sleep, drink, drive, park, tip, shop, play, relax, etc etc etc.

2 carts for every car equals double parking.

Please add this additional reminder to ALL drivers of golf carts, not just snow birds. Please be courteous and slow down/move over when approaching a pedestrian walking toward you. It is not always possible or advisable for the pedestrian to jump out of your way.
This morning, while walking a short distance down Morse Boulevard (the northern part, where the multi-modal path runs along side the roadway), a golf cart driver decided to play chicken with me. The grass was soaking wet because of the morning humidity, and there were no cars in sight, so I judged that the oncoming golf cart would pull over to pass me safely. He did not, until the very last moment. If there were oncoming cars, I would have, and indeed did several other times, step onto the grass verge. However, I try to avoid getting my shoes soaked during the first part of the walk, thus making the rest of the walk uncomfortable, and the shoes difficult to dry out at home. Remember, if a golf cart hits a pedestrian, the pedestrian will be seriously injured, probably killed. The driver of the cart will have to live with that the rest of his life and possibly face criminal prosecution and/or a large civil lawsuit. The ideal solution would be for the governmental entity in charge to retro fit the path to alleviate this dangerous situation. Yes, it might cost a few dollars, but with a 25% tax increase to improve new roadways in the southern part of The Villages, it is only fair and equitable to invest some of that money up north to bring it up to the same standards as down south. |

You should not be walking early in the morning, don't you know you are delaying golfers on their way , tee times are more valuable than you are--
Honestly consider yourself lucky, you didn't get whacked |

Golf Cart Parking
As I have been taught, or as I observe on the streets, four golf carts fit to a parking space. Cars should not be sharing parking spaces with golf carts. But there are always bad parkers all year round and not just during snowbird season.

Perhaps add a note about the correct way to use roundabouts would be useful- as swooner stated, not just directed at snowbirds.

Keep up all the good suggestions, I (as a newbie) am still listening.
