Legal Question in Traffic Law in Wisconsin

WI has special rules on "low speed vehicles," although these do not include most golf carts. Per the WI DOT website, such LSV's can be operated "on local or county roads that have a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less, on connecting highways having a speed limit of 25 miles per hour or less, or 35 miles per hour or less if the municipality has an ordinance allowing LSV operation, across numbered state highways where the state highway has a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less, on certain numbered state highways having a speed limit of 35 or less if the municipality has an ordinance allowing such LSV operation." Municipalities may allow golf carts under WI law but generally must pass municipal ordinances in order to accomplish this, and even then, must severely limit where and how they can be used. My guess is that such rules would probably mimic the LSV rules to some extent.
