Cashman, It would be legal, just as it is for people on bicycles (or a Segway for that matter). In general, bicycles and golf carts operate on the same rules. One of the major safety precautions people ignore is hugging the curb on roads w/o cart lanes. This encourages automobile drivers to try and 'squeeze' by. The result is all too often the bicycle or golf cart getting clipped with potentially disastrous results.

On two lane roads without golf cart/bicycle lanes, drive in the middle or slightly left of the middle of the lane. This is basic bicycle safety and applies equally to golf carts.
