Golf carts approved for Enon streets

Staff Report

ENON —

Enon Council approved at its Tuesday night meeting to allow golf carts on village streets.

Council voted unanimously to allow the vehicles on the roads with speed limits at or below 35 miles per hour, according to reports.

Councilman Rick Hanna said in May it would be a practical way to get around the village during this era of high gas prices and environmental concern, according to reports. He said discussion about the safety and practicality of allowing so-called “underspeed vehicles,” or USVs, on village streets lasted several months.

USVs and their drivers are required to follow state license, registration, equipment and insurance laws. They can operate on streets with speed limits of 35 mph or less.

Enon police would conduct equipment compliance inspections before a USV could be registered with the state. An inspection fee would be charged.
