Those folks often SAY what they believe, think, or want to be true without actually checking for an ordinance. But I am definitely going to check because I am planning on getting mine street legal (it's not a "normal" cart like 99% of them). I do not believe there is any such ordinance but will check with them and the State.

Can someone please show me where I can read the rules that street legal golf carts are not allowed to use the golf cart lanes in TV. Thank you.

No one can. Everyone "just knows." [emoji849]. Going to look into it soon.

Depending where she is going using the golf cart paths this time of year is slow travel. Common sense she is allowed to travel on the roads, I would be utilizing the roads if my golf cart was street legal. What the difference when you get behind someone in a car that's driving very slow and there is no passing lane.

You can cross RT44 on the south end. At Morse - no you can't because CR468 has a 45 mph speed limit. At Buena Vista - great, you can visit Wildwood Country Resort. At Powell Road - Hey, you can shop at Sparr and the new small strip of retail.

You can take it to the new Lowe's on 466a. No, because CR466A has a 45 mph speed limit. You must use 466A to enter Lowe's.

doctors on CR100 behind Walmart on 466. I'm sure you meant CR103. (I know I'm nit picking on this one.)

Edit: I'm not "piling on." I didn't see the post by JerryP at the time I posted this.

Useless for YOU. The only error was 466a. There was one typo 103 vs 100 because there was no map on the potty. 44 at Powell is important to ME but useless to YOU. My cart dealer is there. I also often go to Sparr and rarely use my car. My cart has 7100 miles on it since I got here 1yr ago but I barely put 3000 on the car and that 3000 included multiple trips to Ft Lauderdale.

My "cart" has heat and A/C and power windows and Sirius XM so I use it often. [emoji1]

There are others as well but one man's importance is another man's useless.
