That is what street legal infers.
If you drive on the automobile roadways you are required to have registration/insurance/etc.
As for whether they are allowed on the MMP....well good luck. Anybody care to guess how many street legal carts are on the MMP at any given time of day?
If they are allowed on the golf course (and that is why some have the speed selector switch) then they are using the rest of the path system as well.
Has anybody ever heard a good rational reason for needing to go the increased 5-10 mph faster?
To justify the approaching $1000 annual cost for registration/insurance/etc?
To me the need for street legal capability is very similar to needing to measure a watermelon with a micrometer!!!

Of course they can give a ticket for exceeding 25. But that's "just" a speeding ticket and not a misdemeanor violation punishable by "up to 1yr in the hoosegow."
As for "needing" one, as you say, YOUR conception of "needing" may be different than mine or your neighbors. Do people "really need" to drive a $90,000 car when the $32,000 accomplishes the same thing and gains them nothing." Do people "need" a $1.5million dollar home when a $400,000 one can do the same?
What any one of us "really needs" varies greatly and has many variables creating those "needs."
And for the 2nd time it is not $1000 per year, nothing close. After first year it's only the insurance delta.
