Can you drive a golf cart on the highway?

Answer 1

No. Since Golf carts do not meet regulations (or need to) to be driven on public roads, they are designed specifically for golf courses. Having said that, some golf clubs have their own rules governing the need to be a certain age or hold a current drivers license. It would pay to check with the club before using a cart on their course.

Answer 2

Some residential communities routinely allow golf carts as the main method of transport without the confines of the communities. Golf carts can share the road with trucks, cars, buses, etc. and so it is vital to understand the laws with regard to the use of golf carts.

Consideration for what vehicles are allowed on the road falls to the State Department of Highways in each state. States with resort communities. a lot of retirement communities and a lot of beachfront communities are more likely to approve golf carts as an accept mode of transportation. Each state that allows golf carts on the road has a specific set of laws about it.

Cities where it is legal to drive golf carts on the street are generally golf or senior communities. Sun City Center, Florida is one place that allows driving of golf carts on the road also Peachtree City, Georgia, Linton, Indiana and Orting, Washington. They often are restricted to certain streets or lanes and require som kind of registration or license. In Illinois they recently enacted a law leaving it up to local governments and currently they are allowed (with license/registration) in Loama and Nokomis.
