Are golf carts street legal in North Carolina?

A standard golf cart (top speed 20 mph or less) is not street legal statewide in North Carolina, but cities and counties may allow golf carts on roads posted 35 mph or less. A low-speed vehicle (LSV) that meets federal safety standards can be registered, insured and driven on roads posted 35 mph or less. Every cart we sell is street ready, and LSVs are our specialty.

Are golf carts and LSVs street legal in South Carolina?

Yes, with rules. An LSV that meets FMVSS 500 may drive on roads posted 35 mph or less and cross faster roads at intersections. A golf cart needs an SCDMV permit decal, registration and liability insurance, and without a local ordinance it may run only in daylight, on secondary roads posted 35 mph or less, within 4 miles of its registered address.
