Are go-karts illegal to drive on the sidewalk, or side of the road?

Question

In New Jersey?

Answer 1

Here is your New Jersey law regarding go karts..........



A go-cart is not "street legal" to run any motorized vehicle on the street it must at minimum have turn signals, mirrors, break lights, registration, head lights, tail lights and be insured and you need to be licensed.



The fine for using a go-cart on public roads, sidewalks and so forth is a minimum of $250.00 and not more than $500.00.

Answer 2

Ok... My turn... According to everything I was ever taught on this subject, as a pedestrian, you move against traffic. That is, you walk (or run) on the left side of the road facing oncoming traffic in the US and on the right in the UK. This affords you the opportunity to see those coming at you and maybe have a chance to get out of the way if they swerve toward you. It also keeps you away from traffic going the same direction as you that is coming at you from the back. It's hard to duck if you can't see them coming. :-} If you are riding a bicycle, you are classified as a vehicle. You ride with traffic, on the same side of the road as traffic moving the same direction as you are going. If given the choice, you should use a sidewalk or bike path and get as far away from cars as you can get.... Yeah.. .I know..." I have the right to be there" ... but it's a decision that could make you dead right! Safe walking... or riding...
