Correct, But that isn't the point of whether the cops can ticket you at all and/or without risk of having it tossed for not being proper if they do.

Multimodal paths are all on private property. No police force has jurisdiction over traffic movements on those paths. Completely different considerations on "Golf Cart Lanes on public roads. On such, police do have full jurisdiction to enforce traffic laws.

I don't think cart drivers are idiots. From what I can tell, they always stop when they come up to a road where automobiles are driving.

So I guess that means the speeding golf carts, drunk golf cart drivers, runnnig walkers/joggers off the path and any/all other forms of wreckless driving on MMP's is legal and it's just a suggestion to follow "rules" that are designed to provide safety for all involved? |

The point of the sign is not whether it is legally enforceable by law enforcement. The multi use paths are maintained by The Villages (CDDs). The CDDs have a responsibility to insure that some degree of safety is maintained. So, in this case they determine what is prudent. That might be something that could be relevant in a civil case. If you decide that you want to blast though and you injure someone, you don't have a defense that you were not warned.

WOW. Many folks here take so much out of context. He never said it was LEGAL or NOT LEGAL to do those things just they they UNENFORCEABLE by the police. There are likely no ENFORCEABLE LAWS by local or county or state police that can be applied to all those things you list with regard to MMPs. Someone said here that DUI on the MMP can be cited but I even wonder about that unless the driver stop by the cops is made when physically crossing the actual public road. |
