From my understanding, street legal golf carts (ones with full car insurance, license plates, beefed-up brakes, backup lights, windshield wipers, etc.) are allowed on streets whose speed limits are up to 35 mph. That includes crossing those streets. Regular golf carts like mine and probably yours, are only allowed on multi-modal paths or on residential streets inside The Villages (I'm not sure where they can be driven outside The Villages). I believe 441 has a 45 mph speed limit, which would make it off limits to golf carts, whether normal or street legal. Does that stop people from crossing streets like this? Of course not. Do they get stopped, ticketed and possibly arrested sometimes? Yes. Is it worth trying to do? No.
