Well explained......that is so simple.

Carts making left turns should always merge in with the traffic whether it is posted or not. When in your car, you have to watch for some of the carts that will turn left from the cart lane right in front of you. Some of them will stop, wait for the cars to pass and then make a sharp left from the cart lane. This is especially true around some of the postal stations.

I find it interesting that golf carts leaving the Cherry Vale gate on Tall Trees lane continue to go straight ahead and then turn into either Bob Evans or Walgreens even though a sign is posted to say NO GOLF CARTS PAST THIS POINT.

You are supposed to turn left or right on Parr Drive but I guess my fellow residents don't read signs when in golf carts!!!

The fine is about $85 to $100 and I hope to see one of these traffic law breakers get one of those fines one day.

Also on Parr Drive, cars pass the golf carts even when there is a double line in the middle of the road! Are Florida traffic laws different than the rest of the USA??? I don't think so !!!! Guess when some folks retire they retire from obeying the laws of traffic as well as retirement from work.

When that double line was first painted, there were a lot of folks got a ticket for crossing. There was a deputy posted in that area for weeks. Now the line is not a double on the west half of Parr but still down near the curve.
Just like all over the country not enough cops to take care of all the bad guys ( & gals)

I think I need a drink after reading these 2 pages............

It took me a couple of times of reading that sign on S. Morse and Rio Grande to realize if I was going straight I didn't have to merge and could stay in the golf cart lane.

Also, after reading on an earlier thread that if traveling North on Morse and planning to turn right on Rio Grande, if you don't merge (and get caught) the fine is $240.
I always merge there now...

At the Golf Cart Safety Seminar, one of the Law Enforcement Officers answered a question about golf carts continuing straight on Morse through this intersection. His response was that carts continuing south on Morse could remain in the cart lane but must obey the traffic signal.
