Driver's License Test Prep
Florida Practice Sharing the Road

You are driving a golf cart in an area that permits it and want to cross a state road. Under Florida law, at what kind of crossing is that allowed?

  1. A.
    At any marked crosswalk during daylight hours only.
  2. B.
    At any intersection with a traffic control device, regardless of the posted speed limit.
  3. C.
    At an intersection with a traffic control device where the limit is 45 MPH or less. Correct
  4. D.
    At any point along a state road posted at 35 MPH or less.
The Why

The answer is "At an intersection with a traffic control device where the limit is 45 MPH or less."

A golf cart may cross a state road only where the posted limit is 45 MPH or less and only at an intersection with a traffic control device. Choice B is the trap for a driver who remembers the traffic-control-device requirement but treats the 45 MPH cap as advisory rather than a hard rule.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. At any marked crosswalk during daylight hours only.

Crosswalks are for pedestrians; golf carts must cross at intersections with a control device. This answer confuses the sunrise-to-sunset operating window for golf carts with permission to cross wherever pedestrians cross.

B. At any intersection with a traffic control device, regardless of the posted speed limit.

The 45 MPH speed ceiling is part of the rule and cannot be dropped. This answer recalls the traffic-control-device requirement while treating the 45 MPH ceiling as advisory rather than binding.

D. At any point along a state road posted at 35 MPH or less.

The 35 MPH figure is the low-speed-vehicle road-use limit, not the golf-cart crossing threshold. This answer pulls the 35 MPH LSV road-use maximum from the next paragraph and applies it to golf-cart state-road crossings.
