You really need to check stuff out first. From The VCDD:

Notice that bolded underlined word "Vehicles." Vehicles are not allowed on MMPs. Golf carts are not considered vehicles, just like skateboards aren't considered vehicles. I'm not talking about the dictionary definition. I'm talking about the meaning as defined by local law and regulation.
I disagree with the definition of “vehicle” because here in TV most people use golf carts as transportation vehicles, even refer to them as GOLF CARS not just as something to get around in on a very large area such as a golf course. So it makes sense (in a way) that people who are used to sharing the MPP with golf carts while they are walking, try to do the same thing with diamond lanes which seem like golf cart lanes.
