Ind. Law - Golf cart update

Portland Indiana has now finalized an ordinance regulating the use of golf carts on Portland city streets. Here are the details via a story by Jack Ronald in the Jay County Commercial Review:

•All golf cart drivers must have a valid driver's license.

•The carts may not be driven on sidewalks. Carts also cannot be driven on West Votaw Street, Meridian Street or East Water Street (all state highways), except when crossing an intersection.

•The carts may only be driven between 30 minutes before dawn and 30 minutes after dusk unless the carts have headlights and taillights.

•Cart drivers must obey the posted traffic signs and regulations.

•Carts must have no more passengers than the vehicles are equipped to handle.

•Slow-moving vehicle signs must be displayed on all carts.

•The carts must be insured.

An earlier story on the Portland proposal, from Nov. 27th, is available here (2nd item).
