While the town finds that regulations governing the operation of golf carts is necessary to address certain public safety issues, the town notes that golf carts are not designed or manufactured for use on streets and roads and do not possess the same safety features required of motor vehicles. The town does not advocate or endorse their operation on streets and roads, and specifically advises that the adoption of these regulations does not constitute a determination that the use of golf carts on streets or roads is safe or advisable. All persons who operate or ride in golf carts on streets or roads do so at their own risk and peril, are advised to be attentive to motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, these regulations, and the motor vehicle laws of the state and the town, and are urged to use appropriate personal safety equipment, including seat belts and child restraints.
