Golf Carts Alowed on Village Streets…Registration

required.

At council meeting on February 23rd, 2017, Village Council approved the use of golf carts in the Village of Tekonsha. Under MCL257.657a, the Michigan Vehicle Code authorizes a city/village with a population of fewer than 30,000 to allow, by resolution, operation of golf carts on its streets. The statute imposes restrictions on the operation of golf carts within a city/village including the following but not limited to: • – Operators must be at least 16 years of age and have a valid driver’s license. • – Operators must comply with signal requirements set forth in MCL 257.648 (i.e. using hand signals to signal a turn, etc.). • – Golf carts must be driven as close to the right side of the roadway as practicable, with a maximum speed limit is 15 mph. • – Golf carts may not be operated from 1/2 hour before sunset to 1/2 hour after sunrise. • – Golf carts may not be operated on pedestrian sidewalks or on state line trunk highways (Main Street) except to cross that highway. In addition to the resolution, Village Council is requiring that all golf carts be registered at the village office where you will receive a copy of the entire resolution, map of roads and a sticker for your cart. There is no charge for this registration. For more information you may call the office at 517-767-4204.
