Low-Speed Vehicle Access to Roadways

A low-speed vehicle, including a neighborhood electric vehicle, is defined as any four-wheeled electric vehicle capable of achieving a top speed between 20 and 25 miles per hour. Low-speed vehicle operators must comply with the safety standards in Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, sections 571.500 and 316.2122 and license the vehicle as required under state guidelines. Seasonal delivery personnel may only use low-speed vehicles during certain yearly timeframes. (Reference Florida Statutes 316.2126, 320.01, and 320.0847)
