For years golfers have been riding around courses in carts, but now they are able to hit the road with them as well. There is a new traffic law in Ohio that went into effect on January 1, 2017 which allows golf carts to be driven on Ohio roadways that have a 35 mph or slower speed limit. Although golf carts are used recreationally by many people, they are now treated like other vehicles under the new law.
In order to get a title you need to go through an inspection process in order to get license plates. So in other words, you can’t just drive one of the carts off of a golf course and take it out onto a road. In order to do that, the cart will need to be street legal first. The cart, like a car, needs to have a horn, turn signals, tail lights, headlights, mirrors, and a windshield.
At Buckeye Pro Golf Carts, we build custom carts that are “street ready.” That means when you buy a street ready golf cart from us, it has everything it needs to pass the inspection. You can then get it titled and tagged. Then you have a street legal golf cart that can be driven on the roads.
Here are some of our street ready golf carts. If you want one custom built to your preferences, give us a call at 937-615-6174.
