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!!
With regard to the multi modal paths, this is not true ! ! !
Multi modal paths do not meet the definition of Florida Statute Chapter 316 as a road, street or highway and the SCSO has no jurisdiction to enforce violations on multi modal paths that exist on district property. And the district has no law enforcement ability.

The source of this info is from statements made by Valerie Fuchs, District Counsel, and is in District 3 meeting minutes for January 2009
