Where is it stated anywhere that the speed limit is 19.7, or 19.9, 20, or some other figure? Or where is it stated anywhere that registered vehicles are banned from multi modal paths?

I don't have a dog in either fight, but folks who post opinion as fact make me roll my eyes.


As far as the speed goes. It was in the Daily Sun and that was information from the SCSO. I thought for a moment and decided let me call a friend of mine at SCSO. Speed limit is 19.9 mph for all Golf Carts on any road or path. Once a Golf Cart exceeds 20 mph it is considered a LSV. ( Low Speed Vehicle). Then it has to be registered and all the whole nine yards. The LSV can cross 466 onto Buena Vista and Morse and soforth and run on streets which the speed limit does not exceed 35mph. If a LSV is on the Cart Path it must mantain no more than 19.9 mph. Once on a street under 35mph it can resume it higher speed. Street Legal. That is the skinny. They said if you are caught going over the 20mph and not a LSV you could be stopped and checked on. Glad your opinion is all fact!!
