I basically agree with the Sheriff BUT too many cars speed up to get in front of the cart to turn right, forcing the cart to slow down and frequently come to a complete stop. The reality is the cart going straight has the right of way. if there's enough time to move into the multi-modal lane to turn without slowing the cart down, then I see no problem with moving into that lane. However, if the car would be forcing the cart to yield, then the car needs to wait in its lane and turn after the cart has crossed the street, not block the golf cart's path.
