Council adopts ordinance 2025-3 tightening golf-cart equipment and registration rules
Summary
Westville Town Council approved Ordinance 2025-3—amending Ordinance 2013-6—to require headlights, taillights visible from 500 feet and an inspection/registration sticker on the slow-moving emblem; council adopted the ordinance by suspending rules, 5-0.
The Westville Town Council voted unanimously to approve Ordinance 2025-3, an amendment to Ordinance 2013-6 regulating operation of golf carts on town streets.
The adopted changes require that golf carts not be operated on Towne Street from a half-hour after sunset to a half-hour before sunrise unless equipped with two operating headlights (one on each side) and two operating taillights with brake lights (one on each side) "which are visible from a distance [of] 500 feet." The ordinance also requires that a current registration inspection sticker be affixed to the slow-moving-vehicle emblem on the back of the golf cart while operating on town streets. The ordinance states other provisions of Ordinance 2013-6 remain in effect except as expressly modified.
Councilmember Albert moved to approve the ordinance on first reading; the motion passed 5-0. The council then voted to suspend the rules and adopt the ordinance at the same meeting, also 5-0.
