Clemson PD reminds about Golf Cart Safety

With the college football season rapidly approaching, the City of Clemson reminds residents about golf cart safety. Many college football fans will use golf carts to travel to and from games. The City of Clemson Police Department reminds golf cart operators to drive on the right side of the road, as close to the white line as possible. Stop for all stop signs and red lights, and ensure that the roadway is clear prior to proceeding. When approaching a crosswalk remember that pedestrians have the right of way. Use hand signals to alert other traffic of your turns and stops. You can only operate a golf cart on a public road during daylight hours and when the posted speed limit on that roadway is 35-MPH or less. Other information on legal issues that pertain to operating a golf cart on a public roadway can be found in South Carolina Code of Laws under 56-2-105.
