Monroe votes to allow golf carts

From the Berne Tri-Weekly News

By Wayne Schwartz

The Monroe Town Council voted at their regular monthly meeting to adopt an ordinance regarding the use of golf carts on the town’s streets.
Some of the requirements for operating a golf cart in Monroe, according to the new ordinance include: golf cart drivers must have driver’s licenses, carts must have a slow-moving vehicle emblem or a flashing red or amber light in the rear, all passengers must be securely seated in factory-installed seats, and the golf carts are not legal on state highways such as S.R. 124, except to cross.
The ordinance also calls for owners to have the state minimum amount of insurance on the golf carts. Regular car insurance, and homeowner’s insurance will not cover golf carts. The only vehicles allowed by this ordinance are actual golf carts, not ATV’s or utility vehicles.
