State law distinguishes between the operation of golf carts and Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs)/Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs). Golf carts are only street legal within designated golf cart zones, while LSV/NEVs are street legal on all Pinellas County roads where the posted speed limit is 35mph or less. In addition to all golf cart rules, LSV/NEVs must be registered and insured. They must also be equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn signals, reflectors, parking brakes, rear view mirror, windshields, seat belts and they must have a Vehicle Identification Number. A valid driver’s license is required to operate any golf cart or LSV/NEV on the streets of Pinellas County.
