    Check Before Planning on Driving a Golf Cart or ORV on Roadways

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (TINY TOWNSHIP, ON) – If you plan on driving your golf cart or Off Road Vehicle (ORV) on Tiny Township Roads this year you may want to check the following before you do so. Members of the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) as well as municipal officials have fielded complaints from area residents for many years involving these vehicles for years and nothing has really changed .

    • Golf carts are not permitted on roadways – period. They are designed strictly for use on private property, such as golf courses.

    It is the responsibility of the operator to know and abide by the established laws, including by-laws and equipment requirements. Parents of young persons under that age of 16 years found to be operating a golf cart or an ORV on a municipal roadway can be held legally responsible under the Highway Traffic Act for permitting operation of the vehicle.

    OPP officers on patrol remind all Off Road Vehicle (ORV) riders that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our trails. Through community partnerships with ORV organizations such as the OFATV and the Safe and Sober Awareness Committee, we strive to educate the public about safe ORV operation practices.

    You can also reach the OPP by calling 1 888 310-1122 (toll-free in Ontario). Our Provincial Communications Centers operate 24/7, answering emergency and non-emergency calls for service. Many less serious incidents can be reported online.
