  1. - First it was stated that LSVs could not cross if the limit was greater than 45mph.
  2. - Then it was clarified that 45mph is not a limit, the LSVs can cross any road at a marked intersection
  3. - Finally there is a statement about non-LSVs which I believe to be incorrect
  4. - 316.2126, which has the only mention of 45mph, is an irrelevant statute since it clearly applies to municipalities: "...municipalities are authorized to use golf carts.."
  5. - 316.2122, which applies to our use of LSVs, does not have a 45mph limit but states, "...This does not prohibit a low-speed vehicle or mini truck from crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour."

So the 45mph limit applies to a municipal worker's use of a golf cart only.

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