Take the golf cart paths. They're wide enough.

Redwitch: I disagree with you....I believe LSV's should be allowed on the roads, the problem as you say of "impeding traffic" are not the LSV's... which BTW are not that many, it's the slow moving vehicles that refuse to leave the left lane. As for the original question of left hand turns I've driven an LSV for almost 4 years now and have never had a problem with changing lanes to make a left turn....I have never gone into the left lane more than 40/50 yards before the turn. Even if busy I turn my directional signal on and stick out my left arm to indicate my turn and then start edging over. I have on quite a few occasions seen LSV's change into the left lane 100/200 yds before a turn which I think is wayyyy to soon, but then again I have also seen slowwwww moving cars do the same miles before they turn.
