If you do this, even just to pass a slow moving cart that’s in the cart lane, you are technically operating an unregistered motor vehicle on a public road that is not designated for golf carts.
So how about when you have to cross those roads, for example to make a left turn?

On county roadways you may operate a golf cart if the county or municipality has designated that road for golf cart use and signs are posted to indicate that such operation is allowed. I'm pretty sure TV falls into that category. I read through the statutes and don't see anything that says there can/must/will be designated areas of the roadways for golf carts. The white lines and golf cart lanes are probably there to give some sense of order to traffic flow. Imagine the chaos that would take place if the major roads didn't have those lanes.

BTW - what happened to the original comment about Coconuts? I'm still waiting to find out what that was all about.
