The difference between low speed vehicle and golf cart laws in North Myrtle Beach

Low speed vehicles have the same laws to follow with the exception of three things:
  1. Unlike Golf Carts, Low Speed Vehicle's (LSV) CAN be operated at night.
  2. There are no limitations on how far a Low Speed Vehicle can travel from registered address whereas a golf cart can only travel 4 miles from the registered address.
  3. Low speed vehicles CAN operate anywhere on Ocean Blvd (SC 65) as well as Sea Mtn. Hwy (SC 9), whereas a Golf Cart can only travel on N. Ocean Blvd. north of Sea Mtn. Hwy and are NOT allowed on Sea Mtn Hwy except to cross over.

Both Low Speed Vehicles and Golf Carts are only allowed on roadways with the posted speed limit of 35 MPH or less.
