When I first got a scooter and got it registered, the woman who gave me the plates actually suggested I ride it on the MMPs and multimodal paths. She also said that if I did do that, I would have to follow the speed limit of 19.9 mph. Since I felt much safer there, that is exactly what I did. Never had an issue with a car, cart or police officer. Never was convinced this was entirely legal but I did follow the speed limit laws and never endangered anyone.
No longer have the scooter and not sure I would still follow this advice since too many cart drivers are in too much of a hurry and it is easy to go the speed limit or beyond on a scooter. So, would probably travel on the road today.
