Reminder for campus golf cart operators

Logo example on a golf cart.

A message from Wake Forest University Office of Environmental Health & Safety

Winston-Salem requires that golf carts may only be operated on public roads when driven directly across the street AND only where the speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less.

This means…

Golf carts may be used to cross over Reynolda Road and Polo Road.
Golf carts may never be used to travel on or across over any portions of University Parkway.

Questions? Call the Office of Environmental Health & Safety at x3427 or email wfuehs@wfu.edu.
