Section 1: No motor vehicle may be operated on Fripp Island streets and roads except Automobiles, Motorcycles, Trucks, Scooters and LSVs registered and licensed in compliance with state law and non-State registered LSVs, golf carts, mopeds and scooters which have been registered with Fripp Island Security. Operation of any other vehicle, including ATVs, Mules, Gators and other off-road vehicles on Fripp Island streets and roads is prohibited and will result in a Fripp Island citation, accompanied by a fine of $300.00. A vehicle subject to such a citation shall be impounded and held by Fripp Security until removed from the island or brought into compliance with applicable State law or registered with Fripp Security as required. The owner of an LSV or golf cart which may be registered with Fripp Island Security may apply for a reduction of this fine to $50 upon compliance with applicable state or Fripp Island registration requirements and upon paying any applicable registration fee. Emergency vehicles operated by qualified personnel and construction, excavation or maintenance vehicles which are properly employed as such, are excluded from this prohibition although each such vehicle subject to this exemption should be identified and described to Fripp Security. All ATVs, Mules, Gators or other off-road vehicles which have been registered with Fripp Security prior to the effective date of this Resolution may continue to be operated for the life of the registered vehicle, subject to the speed limits for golf carts in Section 2.
Section 2: The existing registration requirements for golf carts remain unchanged and remain applicable to all currently registered golf carts and any new carts intended for use or garaging on Fripp Island. All LSVs which are not registered under applicable State law must be registered as golf carts. There are golf carts which, although not equipped as LSVs or registered and licensed in accordance with state law as LSVs, are nevertheless capable of speeds in excess of 20 mph. The operation of such vehicles on Fripp Island will be permitted if properly registered with Fripp Island Security. Provided however, the speed limit for all vehicles subject to registration as a golf cart, including non-state registered LSVs, on Fripp Island streets and roads is 20 mph or the otherwise applicable speed limit if less than 20 mph. Violation of this speed limit is subject to all applicable speeding fines under existing requirements.
Section 3: As provided in Section 2, all golf carts or LSVs subject to registration as a golf cart brought to Fripp Island for use on its streets and roads must be registered within 24 hours of arrival or delivery or be subject to a fine as provided in Section 1. All owners of such vehicles subject to registration who are not Fripp Island property owners must pay a fee of $50 to obtain this registration.
