How to make a golf cart street legal?

OK, so I have a golf cart and I would like to make it street legal so if I'm riding around in it I don't get a big ticket. I probably won't be riding on major roads, but if I do get pulled over or someone reports me, I want to be fully equiped so I don't get into trouble.

I live in NJ. If you could give me a website of the street rules and regulations for my state that would be great. Or my town: Upper Township. Thanks!How to make a golf cart street legal?I don't think that;s possible, but I'll try to find out.



Here's a bunch of references I found, but the answer does, indeed, seem to be NO WAY

Maybe someone that knows better will answer but I'm a retired Texas peace officer and to my knowledge there is nothing that can be done to make a golf cart street legal. Usually if they are on a side residential street or in close proximity to a golf course we just look the other way, if they get out on a street where the speed limit is 30 or above we warn them away and if they persist then we ticket them.How to make a golf cart street legal?http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/About/site_in鈥?/a> Go here It has Many FAQ.

I'm guessing you will need the town board to pass an ordinance allowing it. This could be a fun project for you. Contact your alderman or town selectman or whatever they are called there and ask if they are interested in working with you on a green project. All you really need for safety is an orange triangle on the back of the cart and a good understanding of the hand signals you learn in driver's ed. but you should offer to wire the cart with brake lights and turn signals and headlights, and offer to have the headlights on at all times. You can wire that stuff yourself off a 12 v battery and lights and wire you can buy at any auto parts or farm store.



If you'll be driving it inside a city or town for the most part, I would start out there. Call up the local police first and just inquire if it would be legal wired up as I have described, but don't argue with them. If they say no, then your next step is the city council or town board.



Good luck. I think this kind of thing is the wave of the future. We drive around town in massive hunks of steel and plastic that weight 10 times what we need for getting around an urban area.
