In areas where steep grades exist, golf car operations should be restricted to the designated golf car pathways where

possible, and shall be identified with a suitable warning giving the following information: “Warning, steep grade,

descend slowly with one foot on brake.”

Wet Areas

Wet grassy areas may cause a golf car to lose traction and may affect stability. Wet areas shall be chained or roped off

to prevent golf car operations or be identified by a suitable warning not to operate golf cars in this area due to wet

terrain.

Sharp Turns, Blind Corners, Bridge Approaches

Sharp turns, blind spots, bridge approaches and other potentially hazardous areas shall be either chained or roped off

to prevent golf car operations or identified with a suitable warning to the operator of the nature of the hazard and stating

the proper precautions to be taken to avoid the hazard.

operate golf cars in this area due to loose terrain or possible hazardous conditions.

the pedestrian traffic to eliminate the interference. If elimination of the interference is not possible or is highly

impractical, signs shall be erected warning pedestrians of the golf car traffic and golf car operators of the pedestrian

traffic and to drive slowly and use extreme caution.
