The State of Florida, Sumter County, and the city of Wildwood all have regulations regarding golf carts on public roads. The state says LSVs can cross a 45mph road. All say that golf carts cannot legally cross a county road UNLESS a resolution is passed.

- Since 27/441 is a state road, apparently the state has a resolution allowing a golf cart crossing at a particular intersection on that road.

- Since 466A is a county road, Sumter County would need a resolution allowing golf carts to cross that road.

- Both the Wildwood regulations an Sumter County regulations mention a list of roads that golf carts are allowed to travel on or across. I could not find that list.

- I would hope the Wildwood PD is familiar with the Wildwood and County regulations and would know if 466A was on the list of roads that could be crossed in a golf cart

- There used to be a "No Carts Beyond This Point" sign on Pinellas (haven`t looked recently). If the sign is still there I would obey that rather than trust the word of the PD - I have a feeling about which would hold up in court.

- It would be very useful to find the Sumter County list of roads that golf carts are allowed to cross. I have been unsuccessful so far so my choice will be to avoid crossing 466A

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
