I for one did not know the speed limit on the side streets was 15mph. Somewhere there is a disconnect between 15mph and golf carts that go 19.8mph. I never check the speed of the cart, but almost always drive it full speed except on curves and tunnels. So I agree with those that say 25 is to fast, but would suspect a reasonable speed limit for everyone might be better at 20mph. Seems if it is set at 15mph then golf carts should require speedometers. Which would require inspections to verify everyone had one. Which then require some sticker as proof it was done, which would require a registration to stop you from driving if it wasn't. And NONE of us want to go down that road. So set the speed limit to 20 mph. Then most carts can't speed. And those that do are breaking another law already in place anyway so they can be ticketed.
