After reading so many posts on this subject, for the life of me, I can't understand why some feel they aren't subject to Florida laws concerning golf CART speeds. If you have to go no faster than 19.9mph, what's the problem. Most golf carts aren't equipped with seat belts, and passengers can easily be ejected from a cart. It's happened around here and if I recall correctly, someone was seriously injured or died as a result. Correct me if I'm mistaken.

In Florida, a golf cart may be operated only upon a county road that has been designated by a county, or a municipal street that has been designated by a municipality, for use by golf carts. Prior to making such a designation, the responsible local governmental entity must first determine that golf carts may safely travel on or cross the public road or street, considering factors including the speed, volume, and character of motor vehicle traffic using the road or street. Upon a determination that golf carts may be safely operated on a designated road or street, the responsible governmental entity shall post appropriate signs to indicate that such operation is allowed.

Multimodal paths most likely don't fall under this rule, but again, it's not just carts on these paths....there are bikers, walkers, and even some in motorized chairs. What's the big rush? Why do you have to drive faster than the law states? What are the golf cart rules in the state you left?
