Letter to the editor
Dear Editor,
I recently read your article on golf cart use. Would you please verify what you consider a “main street”? We live at 11th and Ashley Ave. and many, many times we’ve seen golf carts driving up and down Ashley, holding up traffic. Many of the drivers are kids. Isn’t Ashley Ave. considered a main street as it runs north to south? I would appreciate you clarifying that for us homeowners. I have threatened to call the police, but the golf cart drivers say they can drive on Ashley, just not main streets. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ms. Shannon Cavanaugh
Editor’s note: According to Folly Beach City Administrator Toni Connor-Rooks, a “main street” is the same as a primary road. Only Center Street and Folly Road on Folly Beach are considered primary roads and all other roads are secondary, which means that golf carts are allowed to drive on them. Golf carts are also permitted to cross primary roads to reach secondary roads.
