NORWALK — The Norwalk Police Department is stepping up enforcement against the use of golf carts on public roadways, citing safety concerns and state regulations that deem the vehicles unsuitable for such use.
Officials from the Department of Motor Vehicles and the State’s courts have determined that golf carts are not designed for and cannot be registered for operation on public streets.
This effectively makes their use on these roads illegal.
The Norwalk Police emphasized that the presence of golf carts on public roadways presents a significant risk not only to those operating the carts but also to other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists.
The department has announced that it will be actively patrolling to ensure compliance and will enforce all traffic laws to prevent the unauthorized use of golf carts on city streets.
The Norwalk Police Department is asking for the public’s cooperation in adhering to these laws to ensure a safe environment for everyone.
