Okay, I have a cart that will easily exceed the speed limit -- I didn't ask for it to be fast, it came that way. My speed is usually between 19 and 21, occasionally a little faster, rarely any slower. I'm passed as if I'm stopped and this is on Morse where the carts are going out into traffic and sometimes cutting off a car. As Homer would say, "DOH!!" If I do get pulled over for speeding when going 21, I'll suck it up, just like I would in a car -- I may not have been going over the speed limit by a lot, but I was speeding. And, yes, I know the ticket is technically for operating an unregistered vehicle since it is being driven over the authorized limit for a cart.
I don't think the police can ticket on non-street multi-modal paths -- they're considered private property. Personally, I wish they could. Some people really do drive on these paths way too fast.
I doubt if they'll get those going 20 or 21, but anything faster is really insane (unless street legal) and they deserve the ticket. If my understanding of the law is correct, street legal vehicles, including golf carts and scooters must keep their speed to under 21 mph when using the multi-modal paths. (Please note that's "IF.")
