Yeah, this thread is mainly about golf carts, which I know nothing about. But as you can see, one poster used the word 'highway' and how I should slow down when I drive, and that led to my question.

Yeah, I have done that several times. We lived in the flatland part of Virginia but we loved to vacation in West Virginia where some of the 2-lane roads are very tricky. The locals were used to the roads and would drive much faster than us, so we would often pull over and let them pass.

Exactly, it's common courtesy. Did you have to do it? No, but it's the polite thing to do...

Can you explain to me what the poles mean at the entrance to a path? Single pole, Double Pole etc

Double pole, no golf carts.

No significance to the number of poles, simply trying to narrow the pathway and draw attention.

North of 44 most paths are open to carts, bicycles, and pedestrians. Occasionally a path might be closed to carts and the pole will have wording to that effect. (Lake Sumter near Winn Dixie for example)

South of 44 many of the paths are bicycle and pedestrian only (no carts). There *might* be a correlation between what is allowed and the number of poles but it would be better to look for a sign or marking on the pole.

Generally, paths that are restricted to bicycles and pedestrians only have more than 1 post and a sign, to prevent carts from entering. Of course, regular MMPs have 1 post to keep cars and trucks out----and we all know how well that works
