Colonial Beach has fun with Golf Carts

Golf Carts come in all different styles!

We're Number One! Colonial Beach became the first town in the Commonwealth of Virginia to allow golf carts on public streets for use other than riding around on courses.

The Rules:

They must be operated by a person with a valid driver’s license.

If they are operated on the streets within the Colonial Beach Town limits, owners must register at the Colonial Beach Treasurer’s office, display a current golf cart sticker, have a current Colonial Beach inspection, be insured, and must have a slow moving vehicle sign displayed on the back. Three-wheeled versions of these vehicles are not allowed to operate on Town streets.

Here are the rules on their usage from the Code of Virginia

King George County (the next County over from us) wants them in their area too! On August 1, 2006 they discussed the topic in a Board of Supervisors Meeting and one representative spoke about how there have been no problems with their use in Colonial Beach in the three years that these vehicles have been permitted there.

SB165 was signed by the Governor on March 7, 2008. It allows golf carts and utility vehicles to cross highways in the Town of Colonial Beach at intersections controlled by traffic lights - if the posted speed limit on the highway is no more than 35 miles per hour.

The closest course to Colonial Beach is Cameron Hills
