Driving Golf Carts on GHPOA Streets!
An Important Safety Reminder from Geist Patrol…
We have had reports of children driving golf carts on GHPOA streets; – speeding, drag racing, driving after sunset with no lights, and one incident where a golf cart tipped over while turning a corner.
Geist Patrol reminds us of the following laws which apply to golf carts being driven on our public streets:
Indianapolis – Only those individuals holding a valid driver’s license may operate a golf cart on the public streets in GHPOA. Golf Carts are treated like any other vehicle and must be equipped with proper safety and lighting equipment. Golf carts must also be registered and insured as required by Indiana law.
Fishers – The use and operation of golf carts is governed by Fishers City Ordinance No. 090214D, which authorizes golf carts to be operated on select neighborhood streets. This authorization DOES NOT include any streets in GHPOA and, therefore, the operation of golf carts on GHPOA streets is prohibited by law.
City of Lawrence – Only those individuals holding a valid driver’s license may operate a golf cart on the public streets in GHPOA. Golf Carts are treated like any other vehicle and must be equipped with proper safety and lighting equipment. Golf carts must also be registered and insured as required by Indiana law.
In the interest of public safety, if you observe any violation pertaining to the use or operation of golf carts on GHPOA public streets, please report such activity to Geist Patrol at (317) 842-8082.
