I certainly accept your anectdotal evidence, but can someone please explain to me how/why someone traveling in the right lane of either Buena Vista or Camino Real "slows down traffic" when there is a passing lane available? I ride on both of these roads every day (sometimes in the car, sometimes in my GEM) and am frequently slowed down by cars/LSVs going under the 35 mph speed limit. I pass them. Pretty simple stuff really. I don't see these slow moving cars as dangerous or slowing down traffic. I simply pass them like anywhere else i've ever driven where there is a passing lane. There are signs all over TV which say "Share The Road," sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Morse is a different story. Morse is only one lane in certain areas (plus the cart lane) and for that reason I drive my LSV in the cart lane on Morse when there is no passing lane available.
