Attorney General's Opinions:
The prohibition against driving vehicles on a sidewalk applies to golf carts when the pathway at issue meets the definition of sidewalk in K.S.A. 8-1465. Cities may not use home rule authority to authorize the driving of golf carts on sidewalks because the Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways applies uniformly to all cities. 2025-6.
