Do golf carts and cars have to coexist?

Golf carts and cars have to co-exist in The Villages. While it’s easy to say that cars always have the right-of-way that’s like saying the same relative to bicycles, pedestrians, motor scooters, etc. The reality is that we have to deal with mixed traffic, especially at intersections. Take for example the situation where our golf cart lanes are striped off on the side of the main thoroughfares throughout The Villages. The lanes specifically funnel the golf cart traffic out into the main lane of the street with the licensed vehicular traffic ahead of intersections. This doesn’t mean that cars should “push aside” the golf carts or force them to stop abruptly. If the golf cart has used the turn signals and/or hand signals, and they are merging well in advance of the approaching car traffic, then cars must slow down and let the carts enter.
