1. Can I drive a golf cart on the roads?

Sure.  Currently, in Stafford Township there is no ordinance to restrict ‘Low Speed Vehicles (LSV)’. 

However, there are State restrictions to operate a golf cart (LSV).  Here are some bullet points to at least address the basic questions we have been receiving:

• You may not drive LSVs on roadways with speed limits that exceed 25 mph. Roadway does include the shoulder.
• A LSV is a four-wheeled vehicle with an attainable speed of more than 20 miles per hour, but no more than 25 miles per hour on a paved surface. It cannot be powered by gas or diesel fuel and must comply with federal safety standards as noted in 49 CFR 571.500.
• Child restraints in LSVs must meet the same standards as those used in passenger vehicles.
• You must have a valid driver’s license to operate a LSV.
• A LSV may be registered in the name of an individual, business or government entity, but may not be used as a commercial vehicle.
• You are subject to the same violations as other vehicles.
• All LSVs shall have a safety information decal provided by the manufacturer on the rear of the vehicle.
• If you have only one license plate, you must put it on the rear of the vehicle.
• LSVs must meet Federal and State requirements. (Make sure you read these.)

4. Are electric bikes or scooters legal?

Governor Murphy signed legislation in 2019 changing the law on electric scooters and bicycles or e-scooters and e-bikes.  The previous framework classified these methods of transport as motor vehicles and thus required a license, registration, and insurance to operate on the roadways.  

Since none of these qualified to become registered it was a dead end on the usage unless on private property with permission.
