Well, the golf cart path is akin to a pedestrian crosswalk, just doesn't have the white lines telling you it is. So, stay the heck out of them!!!!!

Akin does not mean "same as". A pedestrian crosswalk is defined in the vehicle code and requires vehicles to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. The MM paths and cart paths are not "crosswalks". Further, the design of the roads and the landscaping that exists at the intersections sometimes dictates that a car has to pull forward in order to be certain it is safe to proceed. If, in doing so, I block a cart from crossing for a short time, so be it.
