Here’s an interesting question:

Can you be cited for an open container while sitting in a parked cart on a multi-modal path.

According to the open container law, the vehicle must be on a road which is defined as any way that is open to the public. Since the paths in TV are private and have not been assigned to the sheriff for enforcement, it would appear that you could have an open container in this case.
