Since many of our service people use these cart path areas as parking spots, it is often necessary to drive your cart on the main road area. I can see a ticket being given to someone who exceeds the 20 mph speed limit when they are passing another cart - whether it is on an allowable street or designated cart path! I would also hope that a ticket would be issued for reckless driving if a cart pulled out in front of traffic improperly. The rules of driving don't change just because you are in a golf cart rather than a standard automobile. Stop signs do mean STOP, turn signals are not optional and speed limits set by law are limits, not suggestions!
