OLYMPIA — The Legislature has approved a measure to let golf carts on public roads in cities that allow it.
On a 44-1 vote today, the Senate concurred to changes made in the House. The bill now heads to Gov. Chris Gregoire.
It allows cities or counties to create golf cart zones. Golf carts would only be allowed on streets with speed limits of 25 mph or below.
Drivers would have to be at least 16 years old and must follow the same road rules as those driving regular vehicles. Carts that are operated in golf cart zones must have reflectors, rearview mirrors, and seat belts.
A person with a revoked license would not be allowed to drive a golf cart on a public road in a golf cart zone.
