License to Drive
Rio City visitors earn their driver's licenses once they pass the initial short simulator test. License come in two levels, Permit and License, based on the individual's driving skills and safe driving record. Those who put in 60 minutes of safe driving are promoted to a higher license level, enabling them to drive their golf carts at higher speeds and along restricted roads. On the other hand, safety violations have the opposite effect: for example, a driver may temporarily move from Advanced Level down to Intermediate. Speeding and safety violations are constantly monitored electronically by Rio City's highly trained Safety Patrol.

The driver's current information and level are displayed on a seven-inch touch screen computer on the dashboard, as well as a light indicator on top of the car. The light indicator allows a Rio City safety officer to easily determine the status of the driver. 

Safety Patrol
State-of-the-art technology is utilized throughout Rio City, providing constant and instant communication between safety patrols, safety headquarters, and drivers.

A safety patrol officer is always on duty to ensure visitors are following the rules and to hand out traffic violations when needed.

Violations, for example speeding or running a stop sign, have different point values, with each point being equivalent to a minute of down time.

The safety patrol officer on duty has a device that enables him or her to access the driver's record. The officer also stays in constant communication with Safety Headquarters, where the Rio City streets are monitored 24 hours.

Some of this monitoring is also displayed in the public areas, where parents can watch their kids driving.
