Default Speaking of Round a bouts.

Someone please enlighten me. The round a bout at El Camino, Morse, and Paige Place has a cart path all the way around. The golf cart travel is designed to be counter clock wise, correct? The reason I ask is because there is absolutely no signage to indicate otherwise. I know someone who has lived here would know that and I don't recall the subject being mentioned at the newcomers briefings. If you drive around it clockwise there are no stop signs where the car traffic cuts off. Am I wrong trying to tell people they are going the wrong direction? I'm really surprised no one has been nailed by a car there as I see this almost everyday.

I think you can travel both ways around the circle in a golf cart. Aren't there two lanes?

This is the most dangerous traffic circle for car-golf cart interaction.

It is one way -- counter-clockwise. It has two lanes so carts can park side-by-side at the stop signs and cross together (if they dare lol). Try telling people they are going the wrong way and many become downright belligerent.

I do my very best to avoid this circle whether in car or cart. It is absolutely insane.

According to Villages Watch you are correct, counter clockwise only. That is what they told us.

Yes some do get very upset when you try to tell them. I just shudder when I see someone with the cart packed with little ones.

Default rotarys

I believe all rotarys are counter clockwise if you do know this maybe you should not be driving
