Street-legal golf carts and LSVs for La Quinta
La Quinta lets golf carts and low-speed vehicles (LSVs) use designated golf cart routes and streets with speed limits of 25 mph or less, during daytime hours. The city designed its Village Complete Streets project with bike and golf cart lanes on Calle Tampico, Calle Sinaloa and Eisenhower Drive. Every Backyard Escapism cart is built as a street-legal LSV with lights, turn signals, mirrors, a windshield, a seat belt for every seat and a VIN, in 4, 6 and 8 seat layouts with lithium batteries.

La Quinta golf cart questions
Can I drive a golf cart or LSV on La Quinta streets?
Yes, on designated golf cart routes and on streets with speed limits of 25 mph or less, between one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset. Chapter 12.69 of the municipal code applies the same street limits to golf carts and LSVs.
Can an LSV use a 35 mph street in La Quinta?
Only if that street is a designated golf cart route. California generally allows LSVs on roads up to 35 mph, but state law lets cities restrict them, and La Quinta limits them to designated routes and streets of 25 mph or less.
What are Class I, II and III golf cart paths?
Class I is a path separate from car traffic, shared with bikes, pedestrians and equestrians. Class II is a striped eight-foot lane on a street, shared with bikes. Class III is a signed street of 25 mph or less shared with cars and bikes, linking to Class I or II paths.
Is a 4, 6 or 8 seat cart a golf cart or an LSV in La Quinta?
An LSV. The city defines a golf cart as carrying no more than two people, including the driver, while LSVs can carry more. Our carts are built as LSVs with a VIN, and California requires LSVs to be registered.
Is there a golf cart dealer in La Quinta?
