Is walking across any "more bright?" That's legal. It all comes down to doing whatever one does safely and OF COURSE legally.

I didn't think that was legal but I saw someone do it this afternoon (and I did not see a plate on the back of the cart so it did not appear to be street legal).

Seeing that cart surrounded by all those cars -- that is a busy intersection -- gave me the creeps.

Had they been street legal would they have looked less creepy? When our "cart" was street legal (we had it "decommissioned" due to absurd insurance costs) we regularly crossed 441. It's no less safe or any more scary then taking a bike across or a motorcycle or walking. Like anything else if one isn't careful no matter what they drive it can go bad.
