NEW WV LAW CLARIFIES ATV ROAD RULES

(08/17/2020)

Drivers of ATV’s can now ride on the streets without the fear of getting a ticket, and are street legal in certain scenarios. The road rules can be difficult to understand in WV. A new West Virginia law, Senate Bill 690, states you have to outfit your ATV or side-by-side to make it street legal, so it can pass inspection. In order to pass inspection, ATV’s need to have headlights, turn signals and even a windshield, or a pair of protective lenses, along with other specifications. Here are things you also need to know in order to drive smart and safe: Any place that sells ATVs can issue a license for their vehicles. ATV’s must be inspected ATV inspections can only be done at a vehicle inspection station. ATV’s are only legal on roads without a yellow line, and in certain areas you can travel up to ten miles away from the trail head on any road.
