Lol! People at coven meetings should be careful what they say. Never know who is who or who is incognito...

I don't "get:" the photograph.

Okay, my last comment -- this has nothing to do with gates. This has to do with stopping in the golf cart path when you come up to a circle or leaving a village. Not much of an issue south of 466 but very much of one north of 466. Think of it this way -- you wouldn't block a pedestrian crosswalk when you're turning, would you? Well, the golf cart path is akin to a pedestrian crosswalk, just doesn't have the white lines telling you it is. So, stay the heck out of them!!!!!

Akin does not mean "same as". A pedestrian crosswalk is defined in the vehicle code and requires vehicles to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. The MM paths and cart paths are not "crosswalks". Further, the design of the roads and the landscaping that exists at the intersections sometimes dictates that a car has to pull forward in order to be certain it is safe to proceed. If, in doing so, I block a cart from crossing for a short time, so be it.

We were there the next day. Our Chrysler van would have stuck out in the circle if we had put it where Ms. Betty said to put it.

Always open to suggestions on being a kindly and nicely citizen.

Gracie.
