I think many of these "GoGoGranpa" types may be surprised to learn that they can be ticketed on the multimodal paths. They may be private property, but just as parking lots are private, they are also public access. As such, a law enforcement officer can choose to enforce the law to protect the public safety. Driving a golf cart faster than 20 means the driver is piloting an illegal, unregistered vehicle. He CAN be nailed on the multimodals. Not to mention, 99% of the time, that illegal cart on the multimodals must access that public access path via the public streets.
Actually, this should not even be a topic under consideration. Normally, these types of cautions and advice are given by parents to their children. Why do supposedly "mature" adults need to be told to obey the law and be concerned about their own safety as well as that of their neighbors?
