This section is adopted to address the interest of public safety. Golf carts are not designed or manufactured to be used on public streets, and the city in no way advocates or endorses their operation on public streets and roadways. The city, by regulating such operation, is merely trying to address obvious safety issues, and adoption of this section is not to be relied upon as a determination that operating on public streets and roadways is safe or advisable if done in accordance with this section. All persons who operate or ride upon golf carts on public streets, or rides, do so at their own risk and peril, and must be observant of and attentive to the safety of themselves and others, including their passengers, other motorists, bicycles and pedestrians. The city has no liability under any theory of liability and the city assumes no liability for permitting golf carts to be operated on public streets and roadways. Any person who operates a golf cart is responsible for procuring liability insurance sufficient to cover the risk involved in using a golf cart on the public streets and roadways.
