I've read a few posts on here regarding ATV operation on streets/roads and figured I would pass this along to everyone.
Earlier this spring, the Village of Waldron, Michigan, (where I live), passed an ordinance allowing ATV's in the street. Me being on the village Council helped a little too!! Now, this doesnt mean that the County or State Police couldnt still stop you and do their thing, but it does set the standard for our own Police Officer not to stop you for just cruising around/across town, as long as you adhere to a few rules, which I feel are just fine. This ordinance was actually suggested by our Police Officer.
I realize that its probably a little easier to do this in a small village such as here, only 600 people, but I'm sure that there are a lot of other towns just like it where others on here live as well. If thats the case, check with your local governing bodies and see if you cant get something going. To see the actual ordinance you can go to www.waldronmi.us or www.waldronmi.com and go to the ordinance links on either page.
