Council approves ordinance permitting golf carts, sets local rules aligned with state code

Tremonton City Council debated and approved an ordinance to permit golf carts and regulate low-speed vehicles on city streets. Council members and staff reviewed state-code definitions (golf carts: designed for players, under 1,800 pounds, top speed ~25 mph; low-speed vehicles: typically 3–4 wheel electric vehicles limited to 20–25 mph and requiring safety equipment). Several members favored limiting the local ordinance to golf carts until further state legislation clarifies definitions for scooters and similar devices.
