Are there golf carts that can go faster i.e. 40mph or more? Which would be licensed, registered and insured like an automobile? If there is such a thing, can they ride on the regular streets rather than golf cart paths? Is this a gas vs. electric thing?
Can someone post a simple paragraph on golf cart speed basics for those who read this board as future villagers? Thanks.

A golf cart is the vehicle which cannot go more than 20 mph.
A Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) speed limit is 25 mph and must be licensed, registered and insured. Must meet certain safety features like seat belts and windshield wipers. The LSV can go on roads that have speed limits of 35 mph or lower and do not have to stay in the "diamond" lanes.
Golf carts cannot go on roads that have over 30 mph limits and must stay in the "diamond" lane if there is one. Therefore, if you are on Morse which has a 30 mph limit - and a "diamond" lane - there is no passing another golf cart.
The Multi-Modal trails are private property and do not have the speed limit but police are authorized to pick up cart drivers who are visibly drunk or creating a dangerous situation.
