Trust me, it's not just the trucks. There are very few cars that even slow up for the roundabouts, much less to 20 as posted. When driving down Buena Vista, El Camino Real, etc. go the 35 that's posted and see how many cars come flying around you and disappear pronto. All you see is the rearend very briefly. I don't know what part of "retirement community" they don't understand. Just leave home earlier...it's not rocket science. This is one reason I like the 4-way stop on CR 101 now. Before they put that up, cars were driving like they were still on 466. With all the cross traffic from the businesses there, that's just way too fast.
One thing that Lt. Wolfe told us in one of our meetings where he was the guest speaker, is that if you are cited for your illegal cart, not only do you pay the fine but you have to make a trip to Bushnell to go before the judge and explain to him why you are driving an unregistered vehicle. As stated in some of the other posts, unless they are street legal and licensed, the legal speed is 20 or less. It's a safety factor. An ordinary cart has far less control and can tip over easily.
As for them doing radar on the cart paths, it could be that they are considering making some changes to the enforcement.
Just sayin'....
