St. Armands and Lido are City of Sarasota streets: street-legal LSVs only, on roads posted 35 mph or less (Fla. Stat. § 316.2122); plain golf carts are limited to specifically designated roads (§ 316.212).
The Ringling Causeway toward downtown is LSV territory at most — never a plain cart; confirm posted limits and your operator's terms before crossing.
Park in standard car spaces; no sidewalk parking.
Most operators require drivers 21+ with a valid licence — an operator policy, not a statute; an LSV always needs a licensed driver (Fla. Stat. § 316.2122).
Rules last reviewed August 23, 2026 against Fla. Stat. § 316.212, § 316.2122 and municipal codes. Posted limits and signage control; operators may set stricter terms.
