However, let's find an area of agreement. I agree that virtually everyone calls the multi-modal paths "golf cart paths." That is what has added much confusion to this discussion. Language can be slippery, particularly since most people are imprecise in what they say. Apparently in your view the precise are "anal."

The fact remains that no matter where you are, if you have modified your golf cart so it can exceed 20 mph and are caught driving over 20 mph you can be cited.

On the other hand, for 2 mph over 20 seems to be an unlikely charge.
No one is questioning that golf carts are limited by law to 20 MPH. However, that was not the OP's question. The question pertained to speed limits on golf cart paths - not speed limits on golf carts. There is a big distinction and for those who preach precision in language, it should be clear.
