COOL!  It could work! We could make all the streets

 20-25mph and with a Ring Road/bypass we wouldn't 

have to cross any highways.

They aren't near   as expensive and fun to drive!  Surely they are safer than a scooter.    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.
