[Vision2020] local transportation

[Joe Campbell]

I visited an island once -- Palm Island -- off of the Florida coast in the gulf and they allowed NO cars, only golf carts. When I returned to Moscow, I had this dream of building a huge parking lot outside of Moscow where everyone needed to keep their cars and restricting inside traffic to golf carts only.

Tom, 

What a fun challenge!

Here's the rules: IDAHO CODE, TITLE  49, MOTOR VEHICLES, CHAPTER 6, RULES OF THE ROAD, 49-663.  RESTRICTED USE OF NEIGHBORHOOD ELECTRIC VEHICLES ON HIGHWAYS. (1) It is unlawful to operate a neighborhood electric vehicle on any highway with a posted speed limit of over twenty-five (25) miles per hour. (2)  It is unlawful for a person operating a neighborhood electric vehicle to cross any highway with a posted speed limit greater than twenty-five (25) miles per hour.

Here's the challenge: Figure out where in Moscow we can go in golf carts without using or crossing a street with a speed limit greater than 25. You could probably make it downtown; I can't, but I can get to the pool. I'm not sure either of us can get to work.
 
Perhaps we should just make the speed limit 25 citywide.

Philip
