First of all, welcome to TOTV. You'll find folks willing to answer virtually any question!
I think the bottom line to your question is: "What are the rules for an automobile?" It seems to me that 99% of the time, golf cart rules/guidelines are the same as a car's rules/guidelines.
That said, the best rule, to me, is and always has been: "The automobile is several times bigger than your golfcart. Best to let it have its way at all times!"
Hope you'll enjoy traveling around TV in your cart!
