Sec. 804.1501. - Findings.

(a) The Council finds that golf carts provide residents an alternative mode of transportation within communities, reducing vehicle emission and gasoline consumption and separate pathways for golf cart usage within public and private rights-of-way can provide connections between local roads so as to allow travel between residential, retail and workplace areas without the need to use an automobile. (b) As more residents seek alternatives to automobile use the Council finds that having uniform standards for designation of roads and streets for use by golf carts and operations of golf carts is necessary to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the public. (c) F.S. § 316.212 authorizes local governments to designate public municipal roads and streets for use by golf carts. (Ord. 2018-266-E , § 1)
