4. Low-speed vehicles (registered, titled, insured, licensed driver) may use Walton County roads posted at 35 mph or less; Highway 98 is off limits except at signalized crossings. Standard golf carts are not covered by this LSV rule.
5. Every passenger must be in a designated seat with a functioning seat belt where required. No riding on laps, bumpers, or cargo beds.

Local tips

• 30A itself is legal for LSV carts but busy — ride right and use the side streets after dark.
• Many rental houses have a cart charger in the garage; confirm before you book.
