Golf Cart & Community Path Safety – February 14, 2024

If you haven’t brushed up on the Rules and Regulations in the last couple of years, you may not have noticed that your Association has added an entire section of golf cart rules and a number of community path rules to assist with our safety endeavors. Following are a few you might find helpful. 

• Any person operating a Golf Cart must have in their possession a valid operator’s license.
• Golf Cart capacity limits must be observed. Seating capacity shall not exceed six people, and all passengers must be seated. No person or animal may sit in the driver’s lap while the cart is in motion. Standing or hanging on to the Golf Cart while in motion is prohibited.
• Golf Carts do not have the right-of-way on paths, roads, or in crosswalks. Golf Carts must yield to licensed vehicles, pedestrians, and bicycles, while on any Community Path.
• Pedestrians always shall be given the right-of-way by other path users.
• Cyclists always shall be given the right-of-way by golf carts on the path, and golf cart drivers must provide at least three feet of total distance when passing cyclists.
• The speed limit on all Community Paths is 18 MPH unless otherwise specified.
