Of course if true would probably need to traverse a road with a higher speed limit to get to one under 30 mph
I'm not sure you can drive outside TV, so driving a cart on the Trailwinds roads may be equally wrong. Mea culpa. On the other hand , what about Beaumont residents with a golf cart who use those roads. Does anyone know if an area must be designated a "golf cart community"? Fruitland Park on Dixie Ave north of 466A has a sign that states it is a "golf cart community". But I've never seen a golf cart there.

If you go down Morse (South) and cross 44 there is a back gated entrance to Continental on the right. Bradford and Chitty Chatty are on the left.

There is no restriction for a LSV to cross roads. They can cross any road with any speed limit.

Not sure if that is correct considering 316.2122 states:

A county or municipality may prohibit the operation of low-speed vehicles on any road under its jurisdiction if the governing body of the county or municipality determines that such prohibition is necessary in the interest of safety.

Easy. I didn't put words in your mouth. There was a question mark at the end of my sentence.

Please don't try to cross I-75 in your LSV, even if you believe your erroneous assertion.

Those 2 statements do not conflict. They may prohibit crossing higher speed roads if they wish. They only prohibit driving with traffic on those roads. I did thorough research prior to getting my golf cart licensed to be an LSV.

LSV's are allowed to cross, not golf carts.

Not true according to the Wildwood PD.

(d) Golf carts and utility vehicles may cross a portion of the State Highway System which has a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour or less only at an intersection with an official traffic control device.


A traffic control device in this instance would be the light at the intersection.

It does not state, driving with traffic...........it states on the road.

Under (a) of that section (316.2126)
… shall be operated only by municipal employees for municipal purposes, including, but not limited to, police patrol, traffic enforcement, and inspection of public facilities.

Yes, that does not surprise me.

I thought (at first) he/she was talking about the country club on 44......not the trailer court.
