North Dakota golf cart laws explained — NDCC 40-05-22 lets cities allow golf carts by ordinance (daytime only, crossings on state highways), plus LSV rules for 35 mph roads.
Only where a city allows it. North Dakota Century Code § 40-05-22 lets a city's governing body authorize golf carts on city streets by ordinance, but the ordinance may not allow them on federal, state, or county highways except for a perpendicular crossing, and may not allow operation at night. Golf carts driven under an ordinance are exempt from the title, registration, and equipment provisions of Title 39. Related: Shop street-legal golf carts
Yes. Under NDCC § 40-05-22, even a city ordinance can only allow a golf cart to make a perpendicular crossing of a federal, state, or county highway in the city — it cannot authorize travel along those highways. Operation is also limited to daytime. Always check your city's ordinance for any additional local rules. Related: Golf carts in North Dakota
A registered low-speed vehicle may operate on any highway posted 35 mph or less and may make a direct crossing of a faster highway to continue on a 35 mph-or-less road (NDCC § 39-29.1-07). LSVs are registered with the NDDOT and must carry full LSV equipment under § 39-29.1-08. Factory-certified FMVSS 500 models like the DENAGO CITY qualify; TIGON delivers across North Dakota, call 1-844-844-6638. Related: Shop Low Speed Vehicles
