This subchapter is adopted to address the interest of public safety. Most golf carts are not designed or manufactured to be used on public streets. The town in no way advocates or endorses their operation on public streets. By establishing guidelines that regulate the use of golf carts, the town is merely trying to address safety issues that may be pertinent to golf cart usage. The adoption of this subchapter is not to be relied upon as a determination that operation of golf carts on public streets is safe or advisable, even if done in accordance with this subchapter. As with any other form of transportation, all persons who operate golf carts or any other vehicle do so at their own risk and peril and must be observant of and attentive to the safety of themselves and others. The town has no liability under any theory of liability and the town assumes no liability for permitting golf carts to be operated on public streets.
