Virginia golf cart laws explained — Va. Code §46.2-916.2 locality-designated roads, 25 mph limits, license and daylight rules, plus the LSV path for VA drivers.
Only on public roads your city, county, or town has specifically designated for golf cart use by ordinance under Va. Code § 46.2-916.2, and only where the posted speed limit is 25 mph or less (§ 46.2-916.3). You may cross a road posted up to 35 mph at a signal-controlled intersection. Outside designated roads, golf carts are limited to private property. Registered LSVs may use any Virginia road posted 35 mph or less. Related: Golf carts in Virginia
Yes — Va. Code § 46.2-916.3 requires anyone operating a golf cart on a Virginia public highway to have a valid driver's license in their possession. The cart must also display a slow-moving vehicle emblem. On purely private property, no license is required. Related: Shop street-legal golf carts
Not on public roads unless properly equipped. Va. Code § 46.2-916.3 limits golf cart operation on designated public highways to between sunrise and sunset unless the cart is equipped with the lights Virginia law requires.
