The Town of Irvington has no liability under any theory of liability and the Town assumes no liability for permitting golf carts and/or utility vehicles to be operated on public streets and roads under the special legislation granted by the Virginia General Assembly. (Nov. 2008)
Golf carts are allowed on streets with a 25 mph speed limit to include King Carter Drive, Steamboat Road, and Chesapeake Drive. Golf carts are not allowed on Irvington Road (State Rt 200) due to heavier traffic per the Virginia Department of Transportation. Operators must have a valid driver’s license in their possession.
I have reviewed the Town of Irvington’s Annual Golf Cart Registration requirements outlined in §46.2-916.1 through §46.2-916.3 of the Code of Virginia and Irvington Town Ordinance Section 75.15 and agree to abide by these regulations. I hereby apply for registration of the above referenced golf cart and certify that all information provided is correct at the time of registration. I further agree to provide to the Town of Irvington any change in the required information within 10 days of its occurrence. I acknowledge this registration is valid for the current calendar year.
