Alberta golfers squeaking out their last rounds before winter hits might not have to put their carts away quite yet.
The Alberta government announced Thursday that golf carts can now be driven on roads in seven rural communities under a new five-year pilot program.
"Off-highway vehicles ... and e-bikes have been popular with Albertans for years, and pilot projects like this one hold the key to unlocking new modes of transportation for everyone," Dreeshen said. The Summer Village of Whispering Hills, about 165 kilometres north of Edmonton, is also allowing golf carts on its streets."In the summer village right now, we probably have about 60 golf carts running around and they're illegal to drive on the road," Schoepp said."So whenever RCMP come by, they stop and send them home."
