In 2012, the Marshall County Commissioners passed an ordinance regulating golf carts on county roads due to the increased use. The ordinance was created to help preserve the health and safety of the citizens in the county and to regulate the use of golf carts on certain roads within the county.
The ordinance permits the use of golf carts on any county road that has a 35 miles per hour speed limit or less. It also states that golf carts are not permitted on State Highways, although golf carts are permitted to cross a state road or a county road where the speed limit is higher than 35 mph.
Regulations for the operation of golf carts on county roads include that the driver MUST be a licensed driver under Indiana law and have his or her license with them while driving. Golf carts MUST be insured, and proof of insurance is to be carried by the cart operator. Golf carts are only to be driven during daylight hours and must display a red or amber flashing light at times when headlights are necessary. If a golf cart is operated at a time when weather conditions make it necessary for headlights to be used, the golf cart must be equipped with both working headlights and taillights. Golf cart operators must abide by all State of Indiana traffic laws. Golf carts must carry no more passengers than a cart is equipped to handle, and all passengers must be seated at all times.
Anyone violating any of the provisions in this ordinance is subject to a fine of $25 for the first violation, $50 for the second violation, and $100 for a third violation. Fines are to be paid at the Ordinance Violation Bureau in the Marshall County Clerk’s Office.
