Crossing any road with a speed limit greater than 30mph is not legal in a golf cart. However, either that does not happen frequently, it is rarely caught, or for some reason it is rarely reported:
- When was the last time there was a report of someone getting jailed for crossing 466?
- When was the last time there was a report of someone getting ticketed for crossing 466?

Which Google Maps routes in bicycle mode have bicycles crossing 466 without using a MMP?

With everything in life you have to be aware of local laws and use a little bit of common sense. If in doubt, remember you are on a golf cart and don't pass the signs that way "No Carts Beyond This Point." Keeping that in mind, using Google Maps in bicycle mode is very effective.

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