As is commonplace in forums, the discussion ranges far beyond the question of the OP.

On the first page of this thread an erroneous assumption was made: " The multi-modal trails are private property and the local law enforcement officers do not have authority to give tickets - except if they see open alcohol containers or reckless driving."

It was in response to this incorrect statement that the discussion moved to law enforcement on private property regarding any other motorized vehicle designed to carry passengers, and the subject of golf carts developed in subsequent posts.

Glad to see you now agree that the OP asked about golf cart paths and not multi-modal paths.
