The cities have so much village money to play with they just hire more people. They make and pass all kinds of laws and rules and regulations to "keep us safe" but the fact is most of them are only there to make money for them.

But who said that is what they do, he said he was told.......second hand or more information.

I've seen them there watching that stop sign. I thought that was overkill since the only traffic at that intersection is on the cart path and the maintenance road.

I may be wrong but I don't going down a hill counts as speeding. I believe that your cart would need to be modified to exceed the 19.9mph max to get a ticket. Going down a hill is just gravity at work.
