Let's see the auto lane is about 10 feet wide and the cart lane about 5 feet wide. When on our 35 MPH roads I have a lane all to myself that is 11 feet wide and the traffic is all going in the same direction with no driveways, no intersecting streets with stop signs, and no merge sections with traffic lights and no narrow bridges with carts coming at me.
Better rethink the how safe driving a golf cart in the diamond lane or MMP really is. I can't remember the last incident of an LSV and car accident on a 35 MPH road but car golf cart/car accidents happen all the time on regular streets and MMPs.

Actually, I think you understood me perfectly. And...I stand by what I said.
When you quote your statistics, do you consider how many LSV's are actually on the main roads versus how many golf carts are on all the MMP's? But best of all...
"...When on our 35MPH roads I have a lane all to myself..."?!? Bwahahahah. That's a good one! So I guess the white line stops vehicles for you but not for those in the diamond lane...how convenient!
