The Vermilion Parish Sheriff’s Office would like to remind residents who operate off-road vehicles, including UTVs and golf carts, to stay informed of Louisiana laws governing their use on public roads. In the past year there have been multiple UTV crash incidents in Vermilion Parish that resulted in injuries, including one fatality.

With summer months approaching, Sheriff Eddie Langlinais and VPSO deputies want to educate residents on safe and lawful operations. We understand these vehicles are a part of daily life for many, whether for work, recreation, or local travel, but we encourage everyone to remain mindful of the laws when operating them on roadways.

-RS 32:299: Off-road vehicles are not permitted on public roadways unless specifically authorized by local government. This statute makes it lawful for farmers to operate farm equipment as an exception.
-RS 32:299.3: UTVs are generally prohibited from being operated on public streets and highways, except in limited circumstances.
-RS 32:299.4: Golf carts may only be driven on roads officially designated and approved by a parish or municipality.

Vermilion Parish residents should remember that off-road vehicles are not street-legal and should only be driven on public roadways where permitted by Louisiana law. VPSO deputies will continue to enforce these laws to ensure the safety of all motorists. We appreciate your cooperation and your continued support in helping us keep Vermilion Parish a safe place to live and travel.

For a full explanation of the above statutes, please visit the Louisiana State Legislature at https://legis.la.gov/legis/Law.aspx?p=y&d=88237
