FS 316.212(8)(a)3. The ordinance restricts golf carts to a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour and permits such use on sidewalks adjacent to state highways only if the sidewalks are at least 8 feet wide
This means that if I’m walking towards a golf cart on a MMP on the left facing traffic and you the cart fails to yield to me, even if I’m coming straight at you and stop directly in front, the law says the golf cart driver is at fault. It’s the same thing as a crosswalk. If you hit me you’re wrong. I may be “dead right” but you’re still wrong in the eyes of the law. And ignorance is no excuse.
The end.

MMPs aren't sidewalks. The regulation doesn't apply to MMPs.
