REMINDER: You must have a driver's license in order to operate any motorized vehicle on any city street. Nixa Police have recently noticed several instances of children operating motorized vehicles on streets, and this presents a danger to them and the public.

ANOTHER REMINDER: If your zippy zoom zoom toy doesn't have a license plate, it can't be used on any city streets even within residential neighborhoods because such vehicles (Side by sides, dirt bikes, ATVs, mini bikes, pocket bikes, motor scooters, etc.) don't meet state safety requirements. The only exception to this rule is golf carts, if you get a permit from City Hall (learn more below).

Please review the rules for proper use of golf carts on Nixa streets.
