First, the agencycommenced a survey of state laws regarding the use of golf cars on public roads. NHTSA foundthat the statutes of various states, e.g., California, Arizona, and Florida, gave local governmentsthe authority to allow the use of "golf carts" on public streets. California has authorized all of itscities and counties to establish a Golf Cart Transportation Plan area in which golf carts arepermitted to operate on "golf cart lanes," defined as "roadways . . . shared with pedestrians,bicyclists, and other motorists in the plan area." Each plan must include minimum design criteriafor safety features on golf carts as well.
