A Speed Limit on Multimodal Paths???
Any discussion of minimum and maximum speeds on multimodal paths ignores the fact that these are multimodal. The paths are used by walkers, runners, cyclists, rollerbladers, motorized chairs, segways, golf carts, LSVs, motor scooters and a few more categories I'm sure I have forgotten. Identical minimum and maximum speeds could not apply to all methods of transportation.
LSVs, built from the ground up for 25mph speeds can safely be driven at that speed. Segways max speed is 12mph. Bicycles and motor scooters can exceed 30mph. I suggest what I see done every day - people using their own common sense on how fast or slow they go. Putting in more rules and having more people to enforce them is just going to result in more people being aggravated - getting more aggravation in my life was not my reason for moving to The Villages.
