Fore! Golf carts are now allowed on Webster St. and Victory Road.
At the Nov. 13 Spring Hill City Council meeting, the City Council voted to lower the speed limit on Webster St., from North St. south to Victory Road, and on Victory Road, south to 226th St., to 30 mph, so golf carts can safely use that stretch of road.
The City Council also approved changes to local ordinances affecting work-site vehicles/UTVs. These vehicles were prohibited within City limits before the amendments.
See below for the updated and unchanged rules for golf carts and UTVs.
