Today, I experienced:

I was at the stop sign heading south on Paradise, at the Boone Gate. Going over the golf cart bridge to do some shopping at Target. People coming in from 441 do -not- have a stop sign, once they've passed that gate (which is out of commission, but there is a stop sign for them, where the gate should be). People on my left on Boone DO have a stop sign. People coming from across the street also DO have a stop sign.

Someone coming in from 441 stopped and tried to get me to take THEIR right of way, and cross Boone to the south side of Paradise. This was a really REALLY stupid and dangerous thing for them to do. There were two cars behind them - and another car in the lane next to them, who also did NOT have a stop sign, and had no plan on stopping for me.

Because this car refused to take their right of way, they caused a delay, and now someone coming from the south, turning toward 441, was now not sure what THEY should do. And of course the inevitable happened, someone coming from Boone to the intersection stopped, and now THEY had no idea what they were supposed to do.

All because someone who DID have the right of way, refused to take it.

Then - on the way home, coming from Target. I'm on that road that runs parallel to 441, that connects the Workman parking lot to the strip mall where Winn Dixie is. I was in the golf cart lane, in my golf cart. And a car came out of the Taco Bell driveway, cutting me off. I had to swerve out of the way to prevent from being killed. The driver of the car just smiled at me. Like she had no understanding at all, of the fact that /I/ had the right of way, and I was doing what I was supposed to do, and she chose to ignore her stop sign at the end of her driveway.

Here's a clue: when you have the right of way, please take it. If you have a stop sign, even if you want to roll through it, make sure you're not cutting off someone who has the right of way.

After reading all the posts on this thread I've come to the conclusion nobody knows how to drive in TV and it's best to just STAY HOME!

Perhaps we should all be required to take a test on how to drive on roundabouts before being set loose.

Better to be right than dead right.

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.


I'm still confused, when I'm motoring down Pinellas in my car going at or under the speed limit do I have to yield to the line of golf cars waiting to get from hole 1->2 and/or 8->9?

It certainly looks like a crosswalk-It's a good question.

I don't think it matters - I look over if they wave me on or they go fine. If they just sit there I go

That would be awesome. I swore I would quit this game when I broke 100. ⛳

The golf cart has to yield to road traffic and if people are walking on the “multimodal” path.

Come to think of it, there are stops signs at the golf cart paths and Pinnelas Place. One on the South side from the first hole, and one on the North side from the 8th, hole. No argument with the stop signs, cars have the ROW.

Agree.

What I noticed today...........Traveling East on Pinellas, there are no golf cart crossing signs at this intersection.

I tend to follow the rule that whoever is going the fastest and is surrounded by the most mass gets the right of way. I don’t want to be the person saying, “ but I had the right of way”, from a hospital bed.
