Golf carts have become increasingly popular among users in the United States. But can you legally drive a golf cart on public roads? The answer depends on local laws — which are typically set by state, county, or municipal governments.
Standard golf carts are usually not legal for public road use by default, unless they meet specific criteria. However, many states allow personal transport vehicle, which are upgraded golf carts, to be used on public roads under certain conditions.
To be considered legal for public road use, a golf cart typically needs:
Headlights
Tail lights
Turn signals
Brake lights
Rearview mirrors
Horn
Reflectors
Windshield
Seat belts
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Top speed of 19 mph (34.2 km/h)
Must be driven on roads with a posted speed limit of 35 mph (56 km/h) or lower (rules vary by state).
Florida: Allows golf carts in some communities and cities on roads under 25 mph. Street-legal carts must be registered.
California: Allows licensed for public roads NEV; strict DMV rules apply.
Texas: Requires registration for street-legal golf carts and allows them in certain areas.
Arizona: Very golf-cart friendly, especially in retirement communities.
