Golf cart speeding over 20 MPH from 441 to 466 has nothing to do with traffic on Morse Blvd...
Maybe fixing the golf cart cross-over at 466 would help...

I think we are talking about different things. I was talking about enforcing the 30mph speed limit for cars. I agree that a golf cart going a few miles over the 20mph limit does not increase the danger appreciably.
I agree that drivers going less than the speed limit, or not moving with the traffic flow in the faster, left lanes of an interstate are a hazard.
However, with the golf carts on the stretch of road we are talking about, and the need due to the design of the road, for carts to cross from the cart lane to make left turns, and the overall congestion of the road during busy times (which is just about always during the peak months), enforcing the posted speed limits would make it safer and help alleviate some of the concerns that the proposed MMP would address. And it would do it a far lesser cost than either of the proposals on the table right now.
