I think that the path over the bridge is part of the multi modal system and as such, the SCSO has no jurisdiction to write citations for speed. The path isn't a public road. Just my opinion.

But, I think, where the SCSO does have jurisdiction, they don't do a very good job. They could station a deputy on Southern Trace or Oak Forest or Belvedere for example and the speeders could pay that deputy's salary and have some left over. According to Lt Wolfe, out of 338 citations issued in Dec & Jan, only 19 of those were issued to golf carts, and probably most of those were for running stop signs. SCSO and Daily Sun talk about cart speed often but it isn't enforced like it should be.
