Lifted carts may not get under the tunnels

Yamaha width is 48”, Gem is 55”. Not much difference, but I’m not familiar with the bridge you referenced.

Personally, I wouldn’t have one.

This should work OK

They are not allowed on the golf courses.

In order to be categorized, legally, as LSVs, they have windshield wipers, seat belts, can go 25-30mph, must be registered and insured, and the driver must have a valid drivers license.

Regardless of enforcement of the rules, those are the rules. And - if you were to get into an accident with a golf cart that is set to go faster than 20mph, whoever you hit would have a case to take you to the cleaners because you were driving the vehicle illegally.

In addition, an LSV can't legally cross 466, 466A, or 44. On 441 there is only one place to cross legally, and that's up at Stonecrest, which Villagers have no access to by golf cart (or LSV).

Reference your last sentence, it’s simply not true. See (a)

316.2122 Operation of a low-speed vehicle, mini truck, or low-speed autonomous delivery vehicle on certain roadways.—
(1) The operation of a low-speed vehicle as defined in s. 320.01 or a mini truck as defined in s. 320.01 on any road is authorized with the following restrictions:
(a) A low-speed vehicle or mini truck may be operated only on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. This does not prohibit a low-speed vehicle or mini truck from crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour.
(b) A low-speed vehicle must be equipped with headlamps, stop lamps, turn signal lamps, taillamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers.
(c) A low-speed vehicle or mini truck must be registered and insured in accordance with s. 320.02 and titled pursuant to chapter 319.

Untrue - allowance on the golf course is dependant on the type of tire not LSV classification.

[GatorFan]

Max speed by law 25mph. Like a golf cart, over 20 miles per our, illegal by law, LSV, over 25mph, illegal.

Honestly, golf cart will get you where you need to go and less expensive to insure. LSV is insured as an auto.

So, according to section (b) above, windshield wipers are not required? Does the windshield need to be safety glass?

The Gem is 15% wider than the Yamaha. 2 Yamaha’s can barely pass each other on the LSL bridge.
There are other places where 2 Yamaha’s just make it - part of the golf path on Megison Rd is another one that comes to mind.

The multi modal paths were built for golf carts, not LSVs.
Unless there’s a practical reason to buy one vs a golf cart, not sure it is worth the head ache it will cause driving it.
