Actually it's "over 20 and not registered" but I know from someone's personal experience it ain't "thousands of dollars" but hundreds and if the judge wasn't nice you could even go to jail. Last I heard it was around $900 and multiple court appearances.

Most of us couldn’t get out of one IF we even were able to get in it in the first place

Before you take it out, you better check with the sheriffs department. Some people think that it’s better to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. This is not one of those cases.

Also, I do not recall ever seeing a go cart with turn signals, headlights, emergency flashers, etc.
The electric golf cart Atomic comes with all of those features and more. I agree with you 30 is too fast for safety

You don't have to go the max speed, if you keep it at 20mph you should be alright. As far as avisibility it is no worst then low recumbent bikes. But it would be loud.

Default Multi Modal lanes

All diamond multi modal lanes in TV are covered under Florida statue 316.130. They are regulated by the state DOT, not TV development. This should help clarify their use and speed. Unfortunately there is very little enforcement.

Just because it’s capable of a top speed of 30 doesn’t give anyone permission to break the speed limit of 20. I think the more pertinent question is what is the overall width and does it have adequate ground clearance?

No enforceable speed limit on the MMP. This does NOT mean the cart lanes on the streets. Just the paved trails and tunnels. They are not public roadways.
Only governed by Village rules, not law

Cart lanes on roads are speed enforceable.
