Why?
Del Webb is a retirement community, with many hiking and biking trails and wrapping a large golf course. There are multiple golf cart crossings on the designated streets, used by both golf carts and pedestrians. There are also multiple crossover intersections that, although unmarked are used frequently by residents. Just to add to the potential dangers, many residents own personal golf carts that they use to travel through the neighborhood.
Although the posted speed limit through these areas is 30 mph, groups of cyclists do not have time to react if a golf cart or pedestrian inadvertently stray across the road. Experience has shown that only a few out of a group would be able to take evasive action, leading to catastrophic consequences for all parties. This is especially true for a night time ride where visibility is less.
