Allows golf cart crossings on highways with five or more lanes under specific conditions.

This bill amends Florida law to allow golf carts to cross highways with five or more lanes at signalized intersections, provided certain conditions are met. The Department of Transportation must approve the crossing location and design, and the roadway must have a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less, with appropriate turn lanes. Counties and municipalities must post signs indicating golf cart operation is allowed and require permits for such crossings. Violations are punishable as traffic infractions or nonmoving violations. The changes take effect July 1, 2026.
