Here’s the low-down on golf carts on city streets
Biloxi has legalized the use of approved low-speed vehicles, primarily golf carts, on city streets with limits of 25 mph or lower, but it’s not just a matter of jumping in the golf cart and driving down the street.
Use of golf carts on city streets — mixing small, low-speed vehicles on the same roads as full-size cars, SUVs, and 18-wheelers — will come with responsibilities and enforcement, police say.
Before being used legally, golf carts must be inspected by the police department and must have the required safety features.
Step 1. Contact Sgt. Jason Cummings at (228) 702-0197 or email lsvregistration@biloxi.ms.us to schedule your golf cart inspection. Inspections can be made at your Biloxi residence or the Biloxi Police Department.
Step 2. Pay your annual $75.00 registration fee with cash or card, at the Biloxi Police Department to receive your registration decal. The registration decal is to be placed on the left rear fender of your golf cart. And is good for one year which means it has to be renewed annually.
Your golf cart must have the following working equipment per City Ordinance No. 2444:
- Headlights.
- Front and Rear Turn signals
- Brake lights
- Operational horn
- Red Reflectors: one red on each side and one red on the back
- Parking brake
- Windshield
- Seatbelts for each seating position
- Vehicle identification number
- Verified valid driver’s license
- Unobstructed Rear visibility
- Mirrors (Driver’s side exterior and/or exterior passenger, interior rear view)
- Insurance (officer will verify insurance during the inspection)
It’s just that simple!
An important note
No golf cart or vehicle designed to go faster than 25 mph can be approved as a low-speed vehicle.
Where you can drive
Golf carts can be driven only on city streets with a speed limit of 25 mph or less. In some cases, you can cross a street with a speed limit higher than 25 mph. Golf carts must adhere to all rules of the road.
