MCPD Chief Reports More Issues With Golf Carts/UTV's On State Routes

Mt. Carmel Police Chief Mike McWilliams has issued another warning to drivers of golf carts and UTV’s to stay off of the state highways that run through the city. Those include Walnut Street from the bridge to 9th Street; 9th Street from Cherry to the westside city limits; Cherry Street from 9th to the northside city limits; and 3rd Street from Walnut to the southside city limits….

McWilliams said operators also need to make sure their city permit to legally drive the golf carts and UV’s is current.

As for the motorized bicyclists that had become a nuisance around town, McWilliams said there have been zero complaints since the city council adopted an ordinance this Spring to regulate them.
