Golf cart users in Halstead take note: the city has revised its regulations. The city council approved a new ordinance Monday that eases some restrictions and lowers fines for violations. Among these, golf carts will no longer be prohibited on First Street and any driver with a valid license can operate a golf cart. This means a 16-year-old with a restricted license could drive one whereas previously drivers needed to be at least 18. It also modifies the rules for child restraints. Children ages 4 and under are required to ride in a property installed car seat with a seatbelt. Children ages 5-8 may ride without a booster seat but must wear a seatbelt. Children 9 and older are not required to wear a seatbelt.
