Golf Cart Guidelines
Revised: 18-March-2013
The Village and Association boards have continued to discuss the best ways to ensure the safe integration of golf carts in our community. With more and more residents relying on golf carts to get around Trout Valley, in June 2011 and again in July 2012, recommendations were made regarding the use of golf carts in our community. Due to continued safety concerns, as well as trying to accommodate residents' concerns, the Association is revising recommendations golf carts driven in the Valley.
The Village and Association boards have agreed to the following guidelines for use of golf carts:
- Signs are being posted at entrances cautioning that there are golf carts on the roads
- Golf carts should meet certain requirements to be driven in Trout Valley - see details below
- All golf carts must be properly insured
- Owner's lot number must be displayed on the back of cart; min of 3-inch high with reflective numbers
- Golf carts must be operated in a responsible and proper manner, following established rules of the road
We encourage the responsible use of golf carts in our community. Golf cart owners are expected to comply with these requirements. Please help to keep Trout Valley safe for everyone.
Contact tvacommunicate@comcast.net with questions.

- "Slow Moving Vehicle" emblem on the rear of the vehicle
Golf Carts - Frequently Asked Questions
Does the State of IL allow golf carts to be driven on streets?
Yes - State law permits local governing bodies to allow golf carts on local streets under certain circumstances. They may operate only on streets with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or less, the drivers must have valid Illinois drivers' licenses, and the vehicles must have brakes, steering, a rear-view mirror, headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, reflectors on the front and back, and "slow-moving vehicle" signs in the rear. Although Trout Valley's streets are private and not subject to these rules, for the protection and safety of the community, the State's requirements are being enforced.
If an underage driver is ticketed driving a golf cart would it affect their ability to become a licensed driver at 16?
It's up to a Judge - so the answer is maybe.
What is the difference between a golf cart and a Low-speed vehicle (LSV)?
Low-speed vehicles (LSV) can be driven on any road with a posted speed limit of 30 mph or less, as long as they are titled and registered with the Secretary of State's Office. LSVs are defined as any self-propelled 4-wheeled vehicle with an engine displacement under 1200cc that can reach a speed of 20 to 25 mph and which conforms to federal regulations. LSVs have vehicle identification numbers. The State of IL requires they be licensed by the DMV.
Most golf carts do not qualify as low-speed vehicles. Golf carts do not have a vehicle identification number and do not meet all of the safety requirements required for an LSV, such as a windshield, seat belts, tip-over protection and four-wheel brakes.
Sincerely,
Laurie Almeraz

Ann Somers maintains a list of current pets owned by Trout Valley residents. This can be very helpful when a pet is lost or a lost pet is found without tags. If you would like to register your pet - please contact Ann at acs181@aol.com.
Please include a current photo.
Details to include:
Owners name and address
Pet's name
Breed
Gender
Age
Type of Collar
Does you pet have a chip?
Pet will respond to...
If you find a pet without a collar/tags or information on the collar, you can call Ann to see if the pet can be identified and the owner notified. You should also contact the Cary Police Department non-emergency number, 847-639-2341, to report a lost or found pet because they can tell you if anyone has called regarding the same pet. If you can hold on to the dog or cat for a short time, most will be reunited with their owners. If no one claims the animal and you cannot keep them, you can call Ann first, at 847-639-1278 or the Cary Police Department. They have facilities to hold the animal until Animal Control can pick them up.
If you want a neighborhood email blast to go out reporting a lost or found pet, contact Vernie Vadnais at troutvalleynews@gmail.com.
