3. If carts are not allowed because there is a multimodal path available, cars go 35 mph.

That said, if you're in a small cart competing against a large car, YIELD! You may or may not be right but you will not win. I have been forced off the multimodal path by cars, passed on neighborhood roads and cutoff by cars making a right turn in front of me. Even if we keep up with the rules, visitors and snowbirds may not.
What are cars doing on the multimodal paths??
