there have been several threads about this and also articles in the POA. Basically, the Sumter County Sheriff said that there is no POSTED speed limit on the MM paths, so they cant cite you for speeding, HOWEVER, if they observe an activity that they believe is a "violation" (recklessness, driving while impaired, etc), they can cite you. Same as if they observe illegal activity on private property, they have jurisdiction...

Most of the tickets issued to golf carts involve stop sign violations.....
