Golf cart parking rules
 
We recently purchased a 4 seater StreetRod Golf Cart. We went to the class to learn the rules. We were told that because the golf cart extends out into the street, that we need to park it like a car. We have been doing this, so not to be towed. The other night, we came back to our golf cart and two other golf carts were parked behind us and a NASTY note was left in the cart "Thanks for taking 2 parking spaces MORON "
So were we in the wrong ??? We want to park legally.

Thank You

We parked straight in second cart from line with two seater, fiat parked in same space, sometime after we walked away. There is more than one inconsiderate person here

I have seen 4 seaters that we’re backed in to a single spot, with the rear extending over the sidewalk. This may or may not be possible with your street rod golf cart.

If it's a 4 seater that's like a car...with everyone facing front THEN I'd park like a car. Saw one today in SS parked like the others and it was wayyyy out into the street. THAT person was a moron. If the kind with the seat facing backwards then back in and park like the other cart so your extension doesn't hang out into the street. Hope this helps!!

I thought all Street Rods were four seaters? If that’s the case, then you should be able to park like the other carts. They don’t extend out enough to create an issue. Park on the street like the other carts and see if out too far. If your car does jut out more than an inch two, then park parallel. If not, park cart style. Either way, ignore the nasty note. Some folks are just way too full of themselves.

The 4 seaters the all four face forward should be parked like a car. They are much longer than a standard cart with 2 or 4 seat. The moron is the ones that don’t or can’t realize that. You were not wrong.

I can not find a copy of the rules. Please post a copy.

You're actually correct. :D

However, I was anticipating the comments...from some usual suspects.

The OP didn't do anything wrong though and it seems most... are acknowledging that. :ho:

No rules/law/ordinance, just suggestions or recommendations.

Sorry for the nasty note. Most of us are very nice people.
