Official California Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV) Rules in Coronado

Permitted Streets (25 MPH Limit)

Under California Vehicle Code, street-legal Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs) may operate on any public roadway with a posted speed limit of 25 mph or lower. This covers virtually all streets in the Village of Coronado.

Prohibited Roadways

Golf carts are strictly prohibited from driving on the Coronado Bay Bridge (State Route 75) and on the high-speed Silver Strand highway south of the Village. Carts must not be driven on sidewalks or public beach sand.

Driver License & Age Requirements

All golf cart operators must hold a valid, unexpired driver license and be at least 21 years old (some rental agreements require age 25). Open container and DUI laws apply identically to motor vehicles.

Child Passenger Safety Laws

California child safety seat laws apply to street-legal golf carts. Children under age 8 or under 4 feet 9 inches in height must be secured in an approved car seat or booster seat with standard lap-shoulder seatbelts.

Coronado Golf Cart FAQs

Bridge restrictions, child seat laws, parking spaces, and battery range.

Can you drive a golf cart across the San Diego Coronado Bridge?
No. Driving a golf cart or low-speed vehicle (LSV) on the Coronado Bay Bridge is strictly prohibited by law and carries heavy citations. The bridge has a 65 mph highway speed limit, whereas LSVs are legally restricted to roadways posted at 25 mph or lower.
Can golf carts travel between Coronado Village and the Coronado Cays?
No. Highway 75 (Silver Strand Boulevard) connecting the Village to the Cays has posted speed limits ranging from 45 mph to 55 mph. Street-legal golf carts may not travel on this stretch. If you stay in the Cays, you can cruise within the Cays community, but travel to the Village requires a standard automobile, bus, or bicycle.
Where do you park a golf cart on Coronado Island?
Street-legal golf carts possess California license plates and must park within standard marked vehicle spaces, either diagonal or parallel. Golf carts may not park on sidewalks, bicycle paths, red curbs, or pedestrian lawns. Regular time limits (such as the 2-hour limit on Orange Avenue) apply to golf carts.
Are rental golf carts allowed on Coronado beaches or boardwalks?
No. Golf carts are strictly prohibited on Central Beach sand, North Beach dunes, the boardwalk, and the bayside promenade. They must remain exclusively on paved public roadways and designated vehicle parking lots.
How far can an electric golf cart travel on a single charge?
Most modern lithium-battery rental carts offer a range of 35 to 45 miles per full charge. Given that Coronado Village is roughly 1.5 miles long by 1 mile wide, a single overnight charge is more than sufficient for 2 to 3 days of standard island exploring.
