you know, I'm sorry I ever posted my concerns. It's not about finding fault with everything that is said or not said. It's about caring for others. If you took my post to mean I wanted to speed past someone.....you are so wrong....I just don't want to hit anyone. I don't speed. My cart has never been modified and never will be. I try to go as slow as safely possible. Yes, I know there are those with "no respect" on both sides and those of us who care are paying the price. It's about just being courteous, caring, safe, loving and kind. I hope I misunderstood your post and that you are not as mean spirited as you came across. There is no ill will on my part at all. I guess I mis spoke when I said "have no respect", they're young and don't understand how easily they can be hurt. Some folks, like it or not, are in their 80s or 90s, don't see that well and still drive carts. Not saying I agree, but I guess we all have rights. I admire those who stay vibrant and loving life but all of us need to be careful and at the same time protect our rights. Just saying..................I want everyone to be safe. It's ok to think differently but..............

This discussion is going in the right direction.
I love when that happens. Be careful.. Please be careful. Drive slow-er now that we are crowded.

Just Curious
I have never driven my golf cart through a tunnel. I always assumed that you are required to stop before entering any tunnel. Is this not the case?
Also, how many tunnels do we have in TV? I wonder what the cost woud be to have motion sensor lights powered by solar panels. If that would be at all affordable, how about a big fund raiser?

I don't think there is a solution, other than to be aware that there may be walkers in tunnels. Please proceed slowly and cautiously through all the tunnels. And show a lot of caution and respect around the kids. Oh, and please don't blow your horn at others who are proceeding in a safe and cautious way! I'm sure that Doug didn't mean to come across to you as mean spirited. He is usually hilarious, I love his sense of humor.

If you see a cart going very slow through a tunnel please stay back off my bumper and slow down yourself. What is your hurry???{;=)

I agree with this solution and would add...........PROCEED WITH CAUTION & SLOW DOWN.

i give the horn a short beep, to alert anyone that might be in a tunnel, and drive under control. communication is a wonderful thing. still can't figure out what some people's hurry is.

Their answer- "Use the tunnels, that's what they are there for" We are super careful and know of the danger. |

I am a walker who uses the tunnels. Do I use all the tunnels? If it is safer to cross without using the tunnels I will. For example the 466 tunnel also has a sidewalk running parallel to it on the outside and the traffic lights have walk signals. I feel safer using the tunnels under Buena Vista than trying to run across 4 lanes of traffic.
As a golf cart driver and a car driver I do what I tell every new person to TV. Drive with all the defense driving skill you were ever taught and be aware of bicyclists, walkers, etc. |

These tunnels are multiple access for carts, runners, etc. and not for exclusive use by any one group. There will always be the self-centered jackasses(sober or under the influence ) that think they own the roadway and don't care about any other people using the tunnels, roadways, walkways, etc.. WTH is the hurry. There is no cure for irrational behavior.
