I don't know about the northern areas but in our 'hood in St. Charles the speed limit is 15mph. It's not enforced very well but that's what the signs say. Even the enforcement in the 35 mph zones is spotty. Just try to cruise down Buena Vista at 35 mph and see how often you're passed. I think they blitz an area from time to time but most often I see no enforcement at all.
I don't think golf carts are often cited for speeding higher than 20 mph. I'm pretty sure those who get tickets are cited for driving an unregistered motor vehicle since vehicles capable of speeds in excess of 20 mph are required to be registered.
