Florida Golf Cart & Low Speed Vehicle Laws
Guidelines for Golf Carts and PTVs (Personal Transportation Vehicles)
A golf cart must be equipped with efficient brakes, reliable steering apparatus, safe tires, a rearview mirror, and red reflectorized warning devices in both the front and rear.
Operating a golf cart on public roads is prohibited unless the road has been determined safe*by local jurisdiction to be used by golf carts. In this case, there will be appropriate golf cart signs, etc.
Golf carts may only operate on streets with posted speed limits of 30 MPH and under. Golf carts may, however, cross streets with posted speed limits of 45 MPH and under- just not drive them.
Golf carts may only travel during daytime unless the local government has authorized night driving and the golf cart is equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield. Then, it may be used at night.
Golf carts may not be operated on public roads or streets by persons under the age of 14.
Golf carts are only allowed a max speed of 20 MPH or less.
