That is not true. You can't cross CR466A or CR44 at a light in a Golf Cart. Read the ENTIRE law carefully not just parts that may SEEM to support your incorrect assumption.

Statutes & Constitution
:View Statutes : Online Sunshine


There are many other applicable sections in sections 2,3 & 4 in the link posted above (read it ALL) but this one is the most applicable:

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a golf cart may be operated for the purpose of crossing a street or highway where a single mobile home park is located on both sides of the street or highway and is divided by that street or highway, provided that the governmental entity having original jurisdiction over such street or highway shall review and approve the location of the crossing and require implementation of any traffic controls needed for safety purposes. This subsection shall apply only to residents or guests of the mobile home park.

Our club had a 2hr discussion about this with a Lieutenant from the Sumter County Sherrif's office at one of our meetings a number of months ago mainly discussing street legal carts. However your comment IS CORRECT if the golf cart is street legal as long as there is a "street legal" road on both sides of the highway. like crossing 441 at Rolling Acres or Morse or B.V. at 466 and 466A.
