Can golf carts legally be driven on city streets?

By city Ordinance, golf carts can be driven on city streets with a speed limit of 35 mph or less, as long as they meet the following criteria: 

  • The driver must have a valid driver’s license.
  • The driver must have insurance for the golf cart.
  • The golf cart must have headlamps, tail lamps, reflectors, and a slow-moving vehicle emblem. 
  • The golf cart must have mirrors and a parking brake. 
  • The golf cart must display a state-issued golf cart license plate.  

Golf carts cannot be driven on roads that have speed limits higher than 35 mph, but they can cross such roads. Golf carts cannot be driven on sidewalks (other than golf course paths designated for golf carts).
