Golf cart rules change from town to town: which streets carts can use, who can drive, whether a cart needs a sticker, and whether it can go out after dark. These are our plain-English summaries, each with links to where the rules come from.
SlowGo routes on roads posted 35 mph or under by default; it doesn’t establish cart access.
Check local rules before you ride. SlowGo doesn’t know each town’s own cart rules yet. Each page below says what it doesn’t apply.
No page for that one yet. Request it and we’ll write when it’s up.
