An LSV is a vehicle by definition. It may look like a golf cart, but it isn't. If you choose to make your golf cart "street legal" by speeding it up, adding a new windshield and wipers, seat belts, and the other required devices, then it's no longer eligible to go on the MMP or in the diamond lanes. But of course, then you can legally go through the 20mph roundabout...
LSVs ARE allowed on the MMPs as has been stated many times. There is a document linked from districtgov.org that specifically states this but I'm not interested in finding it again.

Still looking for the Florida statute that speaks to diamond lanes.
