Where can you legally drive a rental cart in the Florida Keys?

Florida law also accommodates the operation of golf carts on designated public roads and streets where the posted speed limit is no greater than 30 miles per hour. This is primarily to facilitate short-distance travel within communities. While these relaxed conditions encourage the use of golf carts for local errands and commutes, adherence to relevant speed limits, equipment criteria, and occupancy regulations is also mandated for public safety and order.

Besides operating a golf cart on designated roads, the following conditions also apply to legally driving golf carts on the road in Florida:

• A golf cart may be operated to cross a portion of the highway that intersects a county road or municipal street; to cross, at midblock, a part of the highway where a golf course is constructed on both sides of the highway; or to cross a street or highway where a single mobile home park is located on both sides of the street or highway and is divided by that street or highway (this only applies to residents or guests of the mobile home park).  There should be appropriate signs on the road to indicate that such operation is allowed.

• A golf cart may be operated on a road that is part of the State Park Road System if the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less.

• A local governmental entity may enact an ordinance relating to golf cart operation and equipment.
