On county roads that aren't part of the National Interstate system, there is no imposed minimum speed.

However - it doesn't matter, because LSVs aren't allowed on roads where the posted speed limit exceeds 35MPH.
So, buying a LSV only allows you the advantage of going in faster than a golf cart , but less than 35 MPH. That's a lot of money to pay for being allowed in a speed range from 20 MPH to 35 MPH, plus paying registration and insurance expense. No wonder so many golf cart owners ILLEGALLY jack up their golf cart to top out in that 20 to 35 MPH range.
