The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office is reminding golf cart operators of the 10 mile per hour speed limit on the Lake Sumter Bridge.
A sign has been set up at the entrance to the bridge, reminding golf cart drivers to slow down.
Deputies wrote 52 golf cart citations from Oct. 2, 2013-Jan. 5, 2014 with the sheriff’s office cracking down on golf cart drivers who violate traffic laws.
Thirty-two citations were issued to golf cart operators who ran stop signs.
Other offenses included careless driving, no motor vehicle registration, and improper operation of a golf cart.
Copies of the Golf Cart Rules of the Road and Safety Tips are available for download.
