The legal difference between the speed of street legal and regular golf carts may be 5 MPH, but the effective difference is much greater. For example, if you are in the parking lot of the Savannah Center and wish to go to Arnold Palmer, you can get in your street legal and average nearly 25 MPH all the way there on a relatively straight shot. If you are in a standard golf cart, you have to negotiate three tunnels, work your way through Saddlebrook Rec, pass across traffic at three Village gates, and work your way around Laurel Manor and through the Village of Winifred. Once you arrive at Arnold Palmer, you may have yield right of way to a street legal before proceeding.
