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