Point well taken but I think the State's definition is referring to golf carts operated on public roadways. This probably is a matter that needs to be addressed by the CDD. Maybe turn the multi-modal paths over to the counties so they can have authority? Maybe have mandatory golf cart inspection and/or ID? If you are observed/clocked doing 25 your cart is impounded?

Okay, reality check. I would just hope people use some common sense and don't kill themselves or some innocent bystander.

But if the local government were to act: The CDD has state issued license plates on the Community Watch trucks that roam our neighborhoods. The CDD is a state recognized organization. If they can fine you for not mowing your lawn seems they should be able to do something about speeding golf carts.
