Not all correct.

Whether they can or can't legally, I wouldn't want to do it (cross 466A). Cars have a hard-enough time doing it.

Since comments are mixed as to whether it's legal or not, why not simply use the tunnel?

What's not correct? We have a street legal...checked with the sheriff's office before we purchased just to make sure. You may cross at "Controlled" intersections (the one's with lights).

Question #11 addresses that issue. "Golf carts may not cross over or drive on Highway 27/441, CR 466, CR 466A, Griffin Avenue or any other road with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or higher. "

About 2 months ago I was going from the new Walmart Grocery Store to Bob Evans at Colony and while sitting at 466A red light in front of me at the light was a regular golf cart. I got out of my car and walked up the driver and pointed to the left, and told him regular golf carts cannot cross this road, they must use the tunnel to your left. He looked to be about 80 years old and seemed a little befuddled. He said he didn't know, made a u-turn and went over to the tunnel.

Correct. And Low Speed Vehicles, aka street legal carts, may cross 466 and 466A.

This thread has spun out of control because some posts have failed to make the distinction.

OK. Thanks for all the input but the only thing I'm sure of is I won't do it again and I did believe that if there was no "NO CARTS BEYOND THIS POINT" it was acceptable. Now how
can I get to FENNY by golf cart? Just kidding. Thanks again.

I just returned from the Walmart neighborhood market. I left the parking lot, went past Clifford Villas, and approached the light. There most definitely IS a sign there that says "No Carts Beyond this Point." It is at the spot where you turn left onto the MM path to go the tunnel.

There are no signs on the north bound side for "no carts beyond this point". I later checked the south bound side and it has the sign but I wonder if that sign was placed BEFORE 466A was finished. I also checked on-line maps and couldn't find any newer than 2015. The one listed here has hand drawn additions for south of 466A. So does anyone have a supported answer?

That's true, but if you go back to the OP's first post, he went out the back way, which is a road they built I guess for delivery trucks into Walmart. It comes out by the light near the Shell station which is where the OP was crossing. Apparently they overlooked putting a sign at that exit.

Is Fenny near Morris Boulevard?

I was at Colony today and looked up the road from Walmart to the red light in front of the Shell station and it's called Farner Place. It also appears to run past the back of Walmart and cross Moyer and be the main entrance into the landfill. So TV needs to put a 'no golf cart beyond this point' sign at Farner and 466A.
