Street-legal rules

Santa Cruz — what you can and can't do on a cart

No verified municipal ruleset on file — confirm locally before riding on public roads.

The rules

  1. We do not yet have a verified municipal ruleset on file for Santa Cruz. Confirm allowed roads, speed limits, and LSV requirements with the host and the local town office before riding on public roads.
  2. Every passenger must be in a designated seat with a functioning seat belt where required. No riding on laps, bumpers, or cargo beds.
  3. No riding under the influence. The same DUI rules that apply to cars apply to golf carts.
  4. Yield to pedestrians and bicycles. Use headlights and taillights whenever visibility is reduced.

Local tips

  • Rules differ by town — confirm allowed roads, speed limits and any permit requirements with your host before riding.
  • Confirm your rental's parking rules and charging spot before you book.
