Low speed vehicles are allowed to travel on Buena Vista and on Morse north of 44 (not sure about below 44) but while they may look similar, Florida law differentiates between golf carts and low speed vehicles.

Just give TV a call (I don't have a number), they will confirm they erected and the signs are suggestions/warnings.

Back to whose hand was wearing the glove that planted the sign? But which is it, suggestion or warning? I'm willing to accept that they are warnings, just as the signs before the circles are warnings. Both warn the driver that it is not legal for a golf cart to be driven on the roadway beyond the sign.

But hey, we aren't going to solve this here. You have your beliefs, I have Florida statute. Many may cross without a problem, I've seen many traveling down I-75 at well over 80mph without a problem. You have your discussion with a Wildwood officer saying it was allowed, with enough work I can find the official recording (CDD or PWAC, I don't recall) of the meeting where the Sheriff's deputy stated it was not allowed.

I am not going to take the opinion of a ToTV poster over the posted sign and the Florida statutes, others may choose differently.
