(A) While operating a golf cart or side-by-side on the streets within the city, the operator shall comply with any and all laws pertaining to motor vehicles including, without limitation, safety requirements and insurance requirements. The operator shall also have a valid driver's license for the operation of motor vehicles in the state.
(B) No person shall operate a golf cart or side-by-side upon any street in the city where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or greater; provided, however, that a person may operate a golf cart and side-by-side on such roadways in the following circumstances:
(1) For the purposes of crossing a 35 mph-and-over roadway while traveling to and from a sub-35 mph roadway;
(2) To the extent reasonably necessary to access a point of arrival, or a point of destination, where the only reasonable point of access is located on a 35 mph-and-over roadway. Provided, however, that travel on 35 mph-and-over roadways shall be no more than is necessary to access a point of departure or destination located thereon. Sub-35 mph roadways shall be used when that option is available for any portion of travel (i.e. for the purpose of gaining access to the middle-school/high school complex).
(C) For purposes of this section, a 35 mph-and-over roadway is one on which the posted or legal speed limit is 35 mph or greater. For the purpose of this section, a sub-35 mph roadway is one in which the posted speed limit is under 35 mph.
(D) The driver shall be responsible for ensuring that all passengers are in compliance with any child safety restraint laws in effect for motor vehicles.
