Am I correct in my understanding of what is on districgov site when it comes to lack of enforcement capabilities on the multi-modal trails? Everyone in TV who uses a golf cart should know this. I will use as my excuse I am new to TV.

Sometimes rules are written and the only enforceable option is the honor system. We see this in professional golf all the time. Since you're always talking about the FAA, how about the rule that no aircraft shall exceed 250 kts (288 mph) under 10,000 feet.
If you were flying something other than your Cub, maybe a turbo prop or a twin and you decided to fly at 8,000 at 300 kts, and since you're VFR you are only squawking 1200 and you're not in contact with ATC, who is responsible for your speed. The answer of course is 'you', the same person who is operating his golf cart below 20 mph.
