Lebanon Mayor Huck Lewis helped put up new golf cart restriction signs Tuesday with street department staff. Twelve new signs went up Tuesday on Ind. 39, Ind. 32, Indianapolis Avenue and Lafayette Avenue. A new ordinance created in the state legislature’s last session allows cities and towns to decide whether golf carts are allowed on state highways or not, Lewis said. Lebanon has had an ordinance for a while, but the new bill requires road signs be put up on state highways. Indianapolis Avenue and Lafayette Avenue were exceptions because, though they are not state highways, golf carts are prohibited. Also, starting today, all golf carts must have a permit. “We’re expecting a lot of people at the office,” Lewis said.
