Please define speed? please give me facts of the type injuries sustained in a golf cart going 19mph and one going 21-25? Cars are awarded on their safety. so is an incomptent a person who doesn't buy the car rated as the safest? The 20mph limit will be difficult many cars idle faster than that. so do we have a red light camera gimmick working here? Many states are outlawing these cameras. If there were laws against incometency and stupidity I am sure the police departments will have their fair share of offenders.
This is such a consolidate community that any action by the place always reverbrates throughout the community. It is getting so crowded here that irrespective of new or old speed limits with bumper to bumper traffic on the roads and golf cart paths people will be lucky to be moving at 15mph.
I'm not against safety and I'm not against speed limits but I wonder how those in authority settle on 20mph?
I will agree that it will help in those situation where I am seeing far too many golf cart drivers in the m iddle or on the wron g side of the cart path. I live here all year and the only time this occurs is when seasonal residents return.
