As this post indicated, ALL types of golf carts are allowed to cross Rainey Trail/ Country Road 472. There isn't a light or any thing else at this intersection, but carts can cross a Sumter County road. That probably was because when TV built the new section for homes, they had to provide some method for crossing the county road and a tunnel was too expensive. And Rainey Trail is MUCH more traveled than CR103 by Walmart.

So the question I have is "if regular golf carts can be allowed to cross one county road, why can't they cross another with the same level of controls"? In this case, there is a stop sign to force carts to stop before crossing CR103.
