Everytime I get something done to my cart at the dealer, they want me to sign a paper saying I'll let me reset or check my cart to see if it only runs 20 mph. Everytime I get it back it always runs slower. Personally I don't think it really does any good to have speed laws on carts that they don't even enforce. Also I don't think people on carts know what a STOP sign is, nobody stops, they slow down & go right on thru the sign. I'm surprise someone hasn't gotten T boned at one of the tunnels yet. People leave there turn signals on & people at the tunnel exit assume these people are going to turn. It was a bad design for the cart manufacturers not to put automatic disengaged turn signals on carts.

Well for one it hard to enforce traffic laws on private roads (MMP). I agree if they are speeding down the diamond lanes then should be open season. I also agree that any LEO can set on any street and ticket carts, cars, bikers, and probably walkers that refuse to walk single file. But, with other duties nearly impossible to monitor all streets.
I noticed most abuser's of golf cart speed limit are golfers racing to their next tee time. Gas golf cart will run close or over 40 MPH if you take the governor out. The lawn mower engine will just keep winding up to air intake limit. I witnessed several carts speed at 38 plus.
The two elect carts that can be manipulated faster are par carts and star carts, some star carts have high and low switch, on low limited to 20 mph, flip it to high side and 35 Plus. Other brands if computer can't be reset have to have high speed motor and bigger tires.
Most don't let their gas carts wind all the way down due to the centrifugal clutch when there no traffic close. If there at 4'way stop and they're there first what difference does it make. Just like cars that do the rolling stop when other vehicles are at the stop sign waiting. not in line until stop at stop signs which means behind the stop sign not with front bumper out in the intersection.
Few even law enforcement stop behind stops sign or come to complete stop. No big deal IMO unless there are vehicles already in line at intersections
