What is the difference between a golf cart and an LSV in Virginia?
A low-speed vehicle (LSV) is a street-legal vehicle with a VIN, plate and insurance that meets federal FMVSS 500 (top speed over 20 and at most 25 mph). A plain golf cart has none of that, so most states limit it to fewer roads.
Where do the rules come from?
State vehicle codes and local ordinances, plus posted speed limits from city speed lists, street-level sign imagery (Mapillary) and OpenStreetMap. Unsigned small residential streets are assumed to be 25 mph. Posted signs always win.
Is Golf Cart Maps legal advice?
No. It's a map to help you plan; always follow posted signs.
