To answer Chacam, Florida Statutes, Title XXIII - Motor Vehicles, Section 316 - State Uniform Traffic Control gives all the answers. It's loooooooooong - so be prepared to read a lot. Section 316.212 covers Operation of Golf Carts on Certain Roadways. Once you digest all that and think you understand, then the exceptions start. It appears (to me) that counties, cities, municipalities, and maybe even some businesses (i.e. golf courses) can make exceptions to the state rules. Also some agencies (i.e. law enforcement) may disregard some state rules when operating a golf cart on "offical business" as may some of the municipal roadway maintenance crews.

Several months ago when the runnel on CR 103 was closed and before they established the 4 way stop to allow crossing just north of the tunnel, my wife asked one of the county officers if it was legal to push our cart across the road. His response was "of course you can, but I'd like to see you do it."

It may not be feasible to push your cart across any street that has any type of incline in either direction. Even though these things roll pretty easy, I think you might have a problem if you were to have to push it uphill. It would be much easier if you had a passenger that was able to get out and help push. Before I tried anything like that, I think I would try pushing uphill somewhere legal.

I don't think I would ever attempt crossing 466 or 466A that way. I'd like to cross Rolling Acres to get to some of the stores over there also.
