Crete Still Talking About Golf Carts
- The ordinance needs to be clear golf carts must follow all traffic laws, including one-way signs.
- The ordinance needs to be clear privately owned golf carts are not allowed on golf courses or paths without the owner’s permission.
- To be more inclusive of the people living on Exchange, Main, and Steger Road, Crete may want to consider a distinct color placard for those residents so police can easily identify if a golf cart can drive on a sidewalk.
- Accessibility from the northeast side remains an issue. This easily can be addressed if golf carts are allowed on the Crete Bike Trail. However, use of the trail may not be allowable, depending upon the trail funding parties. Alternatively, Crete could research allowing the carts to legally drive on the wide shoulders of Exchange Road between Crete and Douglas Roads. There are potential obstacles, as the speed limit on Exchange exceeds 35-mph in these sections, and it is a county road.
