I would love to hear from an expert on this matter.

JIMJOE..............where are you?

I think that once you get off of the multinodal paths and are on one of the main roads (Belle Meade Circle, Morris, Madiera, Enrico, etc,) they are allowed to issue tickets for not obeying the traffic laws. They sit in Azteca loop on the side roads and on Legacy Lane and give tickets for running the stop signs.

Although a few years ago, I did see a cop on a cycle chase a cart down the multinodal path. Maybe the cart committed an infraction on Southern Trace and did not stop for the cop so he pursued.
