Sure, they could be new residents. That isnt the point - safety is.

Exactly.
Im pretty sure more of these infractions are stupidity/entitlement rather than dementia.
Expect the entitled response and be pleasantly surprised when the correct rules of the road are employed.

And sometimes they are just driver errors.

Just today, there was a motorcycle on the multimodal path near the Lake Deaton bridge, a golf cart driver too lazy to use the correct path out of Cason Hammock and driving around the rotary at St Cats in order to get to the multimodal path, and a golf cart driving along the walking/biking path in St Cats.
Be careful out there, folks, they live among us.
And apparently a car on the brownwood bridge

Where did rotary come from ? Sounds like a club.

If thats the case, then you are solidly in the grumpy oldtimers club. Really, could you be any more rude?
Looks like you are making up for lost time.

Lol - we northerners have rotaries, not roundabouts - and it takes less typing.

Since the speed limit in a roundabout (or rotary) is 20 mph and golf carts can attain that speed, I don't think the cart driver was doing anything unsafe.

WOW!!! Have you not seen the crazies racing up to and thru the roundabouts and "straightening out the curve"?? Carts would also be hard to spot entering the road on a lot of the roundabouts.
As to the speed limit, if the sign is white and labeled "speed limit" that is the legal limit. If the sign is "safety yellow" with only a number, that is the recommended or suggested max safe speed. Drivers often ignore the yellow signs. BEWARE!!

Can they just cut across the rotary instead of backtracking to Waterlily until the other section is complete?

I had to look carefully at the map in an attempt to understand what you are asking. Based on my understanding of your question, my answer is Yes.

We don't have a golf cart. We drive slowly thru roundabouts and a golf cart going thru a roundabout is not going to shock us.

Sure, I have seen the crazies, but they don't bother me. I have gotten used to them.

Since we do not drive a golf cart, there is nothing for us to BEWARE. But thanks for the warning.
