Default Who has the Right-of-Way????

On the West end of Pinellas Pl, for the Palmetto Executive Course, there is a crossing. Between holes one & two and between holes 8 & 9.

So is this a golf cart crossing and the carts must yield

OR

Is this a pedestrian crossing and cars must yield??


or or...............does it depend if the golfer is walking vs. riding.

Doesn't matter---both golf carts and pedestrians who are not already in the crosswalk are required to yield to cars on the road. Cars must yield to carts and pedestrians already in the crosswalk. Cyclists will just blow through anyway so they're on their own

We always walk that course and we have the sense to yield to the cars and bikes going along Pinellas.

Very scary..................if a cart (or person) enters the crosswalk when the car is ten feet from the crosswalk and is traveling 25 mph.............the car must yield??

So it gets down to: Who gets there first?? Good Luck with that.

Not sure Morgan & Morgan could get you $1mil .

That wasn't you I almost hit this morning????..................O wait, you said "we have the sense". Nevermind.

Some Bozo pushed his cart out into the crosswalk and I was less than 20 feet away, traveling at 25mph.

Pedestrians and carts may not enter the crosswalk if any traffic is approaching. There is no ambiguity.

You deserve credit that you are still able to jump.

I believe the signs say Golf Cart Crossing so they are not crosswalks. Just as a sidenote since we're in the area, there is a guy in a 4 seater brown Yamaha that thinks it's okay to cross 466A to get to Culvers. I've seen him do it twice so maybe a Deputy leaving the station will show him the error of his ways with the $500 unregistered motor vehicle ticket.

Don't be silly, we do not ticket the Villagers, might upset them! If he does it often enough someone will take him out and no ticket required.

Your cart should have a video camera. Send to authorities.
