Are golf carts allowed on county roads in the state of Michigan?
Assuming your golf cart is electric powered, then it may be possible to register it as a low speed vehicle. The document titled “Low Speed Vehicle” lists the operational and equipment requirements that must be met. If the cart is other than electrically powered it can only be legally operated on a highway, (including the right-of-way) in the state of Michigan, under very strict circumstances. In those situations it would be defined as an ORV found in MCL 324.81101 and circumstances allowing operation on a highway while severely limited can be found in the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, MCL 324.81122. Local municipalities can authorize situations where an ORV can be operated on a highway within their jurisdiction. MCL 324.81131 defines those situations.
