I know the rules about driving my cart across 466. However I can push my bicycle across. Why couldn't I push my golf cart across if it is not running. Just because it has 4 wheels should not make a difference. Just playing devils advocate.

I've wondered that very same thing! Not to mention a pedestrian!

This is just a guess, but, maybe because a golf cart is a motorized vehicle?

Do you mean pushing it across while someone else is steering? Because when you push a bike you are usually the one steering so that may make a difference?

Someone should ask "Officer Seat Belt" the question. That should make his day.

I agree. Both are not license vehicles yet bicycles seem to have more privileges.

Can I cross 466 with a motorcycle? How about a moped? Motor scooter? How about a motorized wheelchair? Why not a golf cart? Is it because golf carts go too slow.. I dont think so... they go faster than my bike, my feet, moped, or a motorized wheelchair.
Ok.. now lets talk about the REASON for the rule. Is it to keep people from ENTERING the villages on golf carts so they have to have it apply to all roads of a similar type, not just those surrounding the villages?

Nope. It is state regs.

This is America.... anyone has the right to push their golf car across CR 466. That being said, one MUST remember that in Florida, a law officer could "opt" to "BAKER ACT" the person pushing the golf car. NOW, the golf car pusher ends up at The Villages Regional Hospital. The golf car is towed as a traffic hazard. The person gets a "mental health" evaluation... and ..could be sent to a special place with pretty pink walls that are made out of rubber. Just a thought. ( BUT not a very good thought).

I don't understand why you would want to push a golf cart across 466 when there 2 tunnels are available?? Please explain.

Ok I don't want to 466, I want to be able to take my cart to best buy , and just push it across the road. If I can walk my 3 wheeled bicycle across why not my golf cart. My wife can cross in her wheelchair.

army one and I are in the same boat. I must be missing something. Why not use the tunnels?

If you're wanting to get to Best Buy, the road you're probably thinking of wanting to cross is Rolling Acres Rd.
