does anyone really know the speed limit on the golf cart roads?

Since golf carts are limited by law to 20mph and LSVs to 25mph those would be effective speed limits.

There are no speed limits for bicycles though there are probably few that would travel that fast on the MMP.

There was an opinion from a few years ago that since the MMPs are on CDD property and since the CDD has no enforcement authority, no speed limit can be enforced on the MMPs.

One question I don't recall seeing a good answer for: If a LEO determines your unlicensed golf cart is traveling faster than 20mph can he ticket you for having an unlicensed LSV? That is the main thing I would worry about.

You can and perhaps should ask the police, they will direct you. My logo is daves. should you get a ticket, have an accident. DAVES says is of no value what so ever. As I understand it, there a two types of golf carts. The ones used on the multi modal paths, the speed limit is 20 mph. The street legal ones, you need plates, insurance and a license to drive, the speed limit is 35 mph.

Rumor perhaps. I met a guy who claims to be involved in selling golf carts and he said the police are clamping down. He went through the whole story. If, you are caught doing more than 20mph in a golf cart with no plates and insurance, and there is no shortage of people who turn up the speed control it will cost you around $300. You do not need to be going more than 20 mph. Having a cart that is set to do more than 20 mph can result in the same fine.

Correction -- The street legal carts are limited to 25 MPH. They may legally travel on a street with a posted speed limit up to 35MPH.

I think that even on private property, like multi modal paths and parking lots, etc they can get you for careless driving ? Would speeding on the trails fall into that category ? If there was an accident on a cart path and it was attributed to excessive speed ?

And I bet you've never gone 5 MPH over on Morse, Buena Vista, 466, or 466A either have you??

Nope, no one knows.

The only traffic law that can be enforced on the MMP is DUI.

[CoachKandSportsguy]

With the numerous number of safety devices on golf carts these days, and a head on at 25 mph with another at 25 is a 50 mph impact under a bridge, not sure why everyone wants to go over 20 in retirement with deteriorating reflexes and vision . .

Hmmmmmm. A golf buddy was charged with speeding on a MMP. Please provide legal support for your claim.

On the multiple modal paths or road, you can be fined for a unregistered golf cart. They cannot give you a ticket for speeding. It will end up costing you around $600 between court costs and getting your golf cart certified that the speed is set correct. Yes DUI can also happen on the paths.
