Default Golf Carts Merging w/Traffic

I know this has been brought up before, but am I correct in saying that when a golf cart approaches an intersection where you are instructed to "Merge With Traffic", you must follow the road striping and enter the main traffic stream, regardless if you are turning right, left or continuing straight? If that is correct, why doesn't anybody do it? For instance, I have never seen a cart traveling south on Morse approaching the intersection at Rio Grande merge with traffic if they are going straight. They just stay to the right. Likewise, turing right onto Morse from Rio Grande or onto Rio Grande from northboud Morse, aren't you still supposed to merge? There are numerous intersections like this, such as Avenida Central and Paige Place near St. George Episcopal Church and others. If the signs say "Merge"... then you need to merge!
