Can you drive a golf cart in Crystal River?
Street-legal LSVs yes. Plain golf carts only on streets a city resolution designates. The resolution in hand names one stretch of SE 8th Avenue, between SE Governors Boulevard and a point just east of US 19. That piece is not split out on this map, so plain golf carts stay red. US 19 itself is not a golf cart road.

FAQ
Where can I drive my LSV in Crystal River?
Roads posted 35 mph or less. Not along US 19. A town or county can still ban LSVs from a specific road, and posted signs win.
Can I drive a golf cart on US 19?
No. The resolution does not authorize driving along US 19.
Is SE 8th Avenue shown as a golf cart road?
Not on this map. The designated piece is shorter than the whole street, so it is left red rather than painting the whole avenue green.
Not legal advice; posted signs win.
