Erie, Colo., is the second community in Boulder County to allow people to drive golf carts on public streets.
The town trustees voted 4-3 to allow the electric vehicles on streets with posted speed limits of 25 mph. Drivers must also have driver’s licenses, be at least 21 and have liability insurance.
Lyons passed a similar ordinance last year. Erie residents say riding around town in the electric golf carts is more environmentally friendly than a car.
