Langley is a golf cart town. Guests ride to dinner, down toward the water and around Cherokee Avenue without ever starting the truck, and plenty of them bring side-by-sides for the trails below the dam.
The Town of Langley has an ordinance for all-terrain vehicles, golf carts and utility vehicles. This guide sums up what it asks of you. The town’s own page and the full ordinance have the final word, so read them if anything here is unclear.
Where you can ride
ATVs, golf carts and utility vehicles such as UTVs and side-by-sides may be driven on Langley’s city streets. That covers the town itself: Main Street, the streets around our stays, the way to the parks and the library.
You may not ride along a state highway inside town limits. You can cross one, straight across, but you cannot travel down it. If the plan for the day involves a stretch of highway, trailer the vehicle or use a street-legal one.
What the town requires
Before you ride, make sure your vehicle and your group meet the basics in the ordinance:
- The vehicle carries the lights and safety equipment the ordinance requires
- The driver holds a valid driver’s license
- Helmets are required on ATVs; the ordinance covers operators and riders under 18
- Keep to 25 mph
- Riders sit in factory-installed seats only, and no more than six people in a golf cart or UTV
Fines and who is responsible
Breaking the ordinance can bring a fine plus court costs of up to $200. Parents, guardians or the owner of the vehicle can be held responsible when an underage driver or passenger breaks the rules, so if the kids are taking the golf cart for a spin, the adults answer for it.
Across the dam in Disney
Disney’s city streets are UTV and golf cart friendly too, but State Highway 28 through town needs a street-legal vehicle. The off-road area below the dam belongs to the Grand River Dam Authority, which sets its own rules for the trails. Read those before you unload.
Parking the trailer
Every Club Lakeland stay has room for trucks and trailers. Let us know ahead if you are hauling something large and we will plan the space.
