I don’t pass cart with on coming traffic. If I see DS cart driver that can’t keep the cart going straight. I wait till NO oncoming traffic and steer clear of the cart when I pass. You don’t know if the oncoming car crossing the center line from intention driving, on cell phone, texting, drunk, high, or Just CAN’T DRIVE. I also try not to be beside cart when oncoming vehicles meet in line.

Really, I sure don’t cross the line when vehicles are approaching. the ones crossing the line are NOT paying attention to traffic approaching

Hmm and how do you know what they are paying attention to?

Ever drive down Rio Grande Ave (PAST where they recently widened the "diamond lanes" but narrowed the car lanes)? Golf cart barely fits and some just don't. Larger Cars and humongous landscape trailers barely fit in the "widened" section. Chances of rubbing the curb there is quite high so "trust the infrastructure" is not the case all over TV. |

As an aside.....north of 466, were the golf cart paths widened or the street lanes widened? I'm confused by what you said. Either way.....I find it too dangerous driving a golf cart north of 466 and stay clear of that area in the golf cart. I did, however, drive the cart once to Spanish Springs just to say I did. I enjoyed going over the little bridge.

I went back and read the original post, and all it says is "someday" a car might come in the opposite direction. If you ar responding to some other post in the thread, I apologize, I don't recall it.

Yeah, I don't either. I would rather slow down and wait for the oncoming car to get by and then go around the cart.

Anyway, I can appreciate the OPs frustration. You know there is enough room to pass yet you pass wide. The problem might also be age related. As we age, our vision starts to experience problems. A person’s visual acuity can be normal (e.g. 20/20) but other visual factors can present, light sensitivity, glare, poor depth perception, poor side vision, and diminished color perception. When you pass that GC you (OP) can see there is plenty of room. To a person with “aging eyes” the GC might appear closer than it really is. I say err on the side of safety. If you think you’re too close, pass wide. If it looks like crossing the double yellow will conflict with oncoming traffic, slow till you see a gap in oncoming traffic and pass. Do not pass a vehicle so close as to make you uncomfortable. The last thing we want is you looking down on a bleeding GC occupant saying, I thought I had enough room. As we say in the airlines, when in doubt, take a safety pause. |

Stay in your lane? How about stay on the road please? I was just out riding my cart over on the new MMP where it also doubles as part of the Hogeye sink walking trail. Here comes a blue Toyota Camry coming from the Hogeye sink area and going around a golf cart only roundabout. Not the first time I've seen or heard about cars getting on the cart paths. There are a couple that I can see how that mistake could be made - that particular area is NOT one of them.
