Honestly, I'd feel safer in the traffic there, too.

Actually, one thing I think might could play some part in the need to drive faster....so many have arrived here from areas where driving to and from work was horrific. Some arrive having left traffic from large cities and aggressive driving is more the norm than not. When arriving here, old habits die hard. It takes a while to adjust to driving a bit slower. We left the CA freeway system....a nightmare to say the least. Others could have left the Chicago highway system....that is beyond comprehension and don't even talk about New York, Washington DC, etc. Life in, and the surroundings in TV, beautiful. It's nice to just take a bit of time to enjoy them.

Question.....when you do take the multimodal paths, do you watch your speed? I don't have any problem with street legals on the paths, I just hope they keep the speed down because of walkers, joggers, cyclists, etc.

You're right, there are MANY carts that exceed the golf cart definition speed limit. They're not driving them in the traffic lanes, maybe they think that allows them the right to drive faster than the state allows since they're in the cart lane and not in the flow of vehicles.

I try to behave myself when in the golf cart path, BUT if I come across a 13 mph cart, I've GOT to pass it, sorry!...Some one suggested a minimum speed limit, is there one for golf carts? Like earlier posted, carts are being ticketed for excess speed, this works for awhile...
