As per approved City Commission Ordinance Sec. 66-6, even on approved streets, golf carts and their operators must meet certain requirements. "It is unlawful to operate a golf cart on any street within the city unless: (1) The operator is a person who is under 18 years of age possessing a valid learner's driver license or a valid driver's license, or (2) is a person who is 18 years of age or older possessing a valid form of government-issued photographic identification."

When operated during the daylight hours (between sunrise and sunset), golf carts must be equipped with:

• Efficient braking system
• Rearview mirror
• Red reflectorized warning devices on both the front and rear
• Reliable steering apparatus
• Safe tires

Nighttime Use

For nighttime use (after sunset or before sunrise), golf carts must also be equipped with integrated headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield. These rules and other relevant traffic regulations will be enforced similar to any other motor vehicle.
