Street Legal Golf Carts became more popular when a tax break was offered as an incentive to purchase during the so called "stimulus program" of 2009.
They may also cross roads where an intersecting road posted at 35 MPH or less crosses a road with a posted speed limit greater than 35 MPH. Some of the Parcars that are street legal versions have a switch you can turn on that reduces the top speed when you are on say one of the paths. There are a lot of street legal carts that travel faster then 25 MPH. They therefore can cross over to get to Home Depot, Sams, and Rolling Acres. It really is not that difficult to change a Golf Cart into a Street Legal.
