In Alaska you will absolutely never see any golf cart on a major highway, but you will see the off road versions off the side of the road bouncing through ruts, water and mud at breakneck speeds, they do go through town but at a speed limit.
Those sportier covered large ATV carts are selling like hotcakes in Alaska.
More and more roads are being opened up for ATV’s here in NE Washington state. Only restricted on major federal and state highways. They’re very popular in this area, with miles and miles of logging trails throughout the forests.
