As I regularly say I do not claim to be an expert. If, I recall, I think I know, the gem was originally designed as transport on large private property. They can be easily adjusted so that they can only go 20 mph.

As far as law, besides mine, few of the golf carts are properly set to only do 20mph.
Villagers, though they are mostly retired are clearly in a rush to the next stop sign.
