Golf carts will be allowed to operate on certain Paducah streets

The Paducah Board of Commissioners approved an ordinance Tuesday night introduced late last year creating the operation of golf carts on city streets with posted speed limits of 25 mph or less.

There will be several requirements and limitations. Golf carts must be inspected by the McCracken County Sheriff’s Office, permitted by the Paducah Police Department (one-time $25 permit until the golf cart changes ownership), insured, and operated only between sunrise and sunset.

In addition, operators must hold a valid driver’s license, display a slow-moving vehicle emblem, and follow all traffic laws. Golf carts may cross roadways where the speed limit is 35 mph or less, but the golf cart cannot be driven along those roadways.

Exemptions are provided in the ordinance for city-owned golf carts, riverboat tourism shuttles at the riverfront, and carts used within permitted special events.

Paducah Policet may deny, suspend, or revoke permits for safety or compliance violations. The ordinance goes into effect April 1.
