As always villagetinker comes through again with the best post/suggestion of the day.

I’m thinking that that is likely to happen.

This is not a typical situation. By the time you accelerate from a full stop, a car can come around the corner and the golf cart is up the creek. It has almost happened to us a couple of times already by construction workers and they were no speeding.

We don't and have had a couple of close calls already. This is a bad design at best and when you consider the demographics of The Villages, it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Is there a map location? I drive that route to golf quite often and can't visualize the spot that would be dangerous.

On second thought there is a road that curves all the way to the golf cart stop and you can't see cars when you look left going south on Meggison. I think that's the location. I think you have to rely only on car engine noises approaching.

From my observations, every house in TV is behind a gate.

That means a gate will definitely be built.

That’s a big problem with electric vehicles. My brother is legally blind and can’t rely on hearing the dam things coming.

Yes, that is probably the one. You can't hear the engines on cars because of the thickness of the cement wall that is blocking your view. A gate will probably go up there once the section is built out. They have all the foundations poured back there now.

Location: Meggison and Fraser Court.

They are all prefab villas back there, I think.
