I've seen a number of threads on golf carts in TV but I have yet to see the laws or regulations that set speed limits for golf carts (unless I missed it among the many posts). I've seen 20 MPH talked about on the various threads but none of the posts specifically stated the law that set that limit. There is nothing posted on the multi-modal paths and the only speed limits posted on the streets are those for cars. I can only assume that as long as the cart has not been altered after leaving the factory, the speed limit is what the cart will do and if they do not exceed the speed limit posted on the street, tickets cannot be issued. I've used a number of different carts in TV and the highest speed attained on a flat surface was 23 MPH. Since it appears clear that neither the CDD or the sheriff's department has the ability to enforce speed limits on the cart paths, I can only assume that tickets issued for speeding in a golf cart were issued on a street and not on the path.
