Although the POA does great work I think in the case of the Striping, etc. they have adopted it as a "cause" as opposed to reporting. Within the cause they have separated it between curb painting and center stripes. This has angered some of the residents since anytime you establish something as a "cause" you become the target of those that have just as strong an opinion against the POA adopted position. This obviously is something that should be left to The Village Management to remove the POA from being placed in a negative posture with a good percentages of residents.

Yeah well.

How did we make it all these years?

Speed bumps???? Seriously?????

The speed limit on MMPs is 20 mph. A legal golf cart should not exceed 20. Therefore, no need for "speed bumps"

It is obvious that the police, District, Developer, etc monitor this forum at least it seems a logical to do so.

some posters have a tendency to only see what is in front of them. The build out continues. The MMP's are getting clogged for the same reason highways do. The same driver who believes every vehicle should not go any faster than s/he and blocks the left passing lane is the same driver who is on the MMP at between 12- 15 mph

For a community whose vision was that the golf cart would be a second car perhaps a first ought to carefully consider for what rules they apply. Let's hope those powers to be are not myopic

Kinda silly how grown adults can get so put out regarding a 25 mph golf cart. Bicycles can go faster than that. Get a life.

[billethkid]

At 65 mph at the end of one hour one will be 3 miles further.

Now drop that to 25 (vs 20 legal limit) and an average time of maybe 20 + minutes.

I did not turn the crank on the math but it should be obvious the 5 additional mph are no big advantage except the wind in the hair and aggrivation to be behind someone going 20 mph!

IMO 25 mph non street legal carts are as dangerous as their drivers.

So any non street legal cart capable of going 25 mph is driven by a bad driver?

Wow.

(Edit for benefit of the doubt): Or do you mean if a driver is a good, safe driver, then a 25 mph cart driven by him/her is also safe? If so, please disregard the previous portion of this post. )

Yes. They are so much more dangerous than a 22 mph golf cart.

I am not in favor of mandates, regulations, required classes, etc for golf cart users. To me the biggest safety issue is the extremely bright headlights, especially on the newer carts; they totally blind an oncoming cart driver. I would like to see an outreach program to cart owners and cart repair shops about dimming lights and keeping them properly aligned. If a cart has low and high beams, be considerate and use them. Maintain the alignment of cart headlights. I don't think we would need striping, reflectors, etc. if the headlight issue was resolved.

[villagetinker]

They blind on coming car drivers also!!
