How about something that is not a law?—-since there are no vehicle inspections in Florida, someone could drive a dangerous piece of crap , but God forbid anyone goes 31 on Morse. Again, the thread was addressing the difficult crossover at 466. I wonder how many accidents occurred midway between 466 and ElCamino, and how many were caused by “speeders”
Actually, the OP referred to two studies that addressed the entire roadway north of 466, and included options for separating automobile and golf car traffic, as well as dealing with the issue of the crossover at the 466 gate.
As the thread progresses, there are opinions stated that while the current situation is not ideal, separating the automobile traffic from golf cars by building an MMP would have many negative consequences (including expense) and that a reasonable improvement could be made by dealing with the crossover situation, and enforcing speed limits.

You are making a standard straw man argument by suggesting that simply by enforcing posted speed limits (something that is done routinely by law enforcement ) will somehow lead to stopping busses without probable cause to enforce laws (something that is currently done with DWI "wildcat" stops, and something I personally disagree with), and that since not all laws are equally enforced, somehow that suggests that enforcing speed limits on a particularly dangerous and poorly designed roadway is inappropriate.
