Default Larger 'Golf Cart'
Driving over the Morse Bridge yesterday, I saw a very large 'vehicle' coming in the opposite direction. It resembled a larger than normal golf cart...wider & higher. It was not one of the green maintenance vehicles we see often on the golf trails. I was able to pull over by the center island to allow it to pass. Question? Is there a limit on the size of golf carts, vehicles allowed on the golf cart lanes? Anyone else had this encounter?

No limit or size for the multi modal paths--yes- for the golf course- especially the tires.

Just a month or so ago my friend was told his tires were not legal. He had no idea and had played a couple times a week for,the last three years.

THere should be a limit on the size of carts IMHO. But that is above my pay grade.

Encountered a Ford Explorer driving northbound between Lake Miona Rec Ctr and Stillwater on the golf cart path as we were heading back to Pennecamp on the cart path back in October. Very scary cause it was at night and during heavy rain.

that bridge is so narrow! I sure wish they would build a pedestrian walkway along side it. I find it so scary to drive on it.

Wondering why you would 'bet money' on the cart being from F.P.
