they are out there every day, rain or shine. dozens parked in town. as a matter of fact, some people here use them as their primary vehicle. they don't even use their cars unless they are going shopping or something. if you look in the video, the local roads have blue hatfield mccoy logo's painted on them. you can ride on any of them. it is perfectly legal... http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/atta...1&d=1406576437 |
Municipalities can have special rules within their jurisdiction, but only within their jurisdiction. Just because you can do something in certain situations does not make it "perfectly legal" in all instances. Lack of law enforcement (apparently all too common in Mingo, Logan, etc.) does not mean that the state statute is invalid.

yes, it's legal here. on most local roads, with a trail stamp and a helmet.
the state made the special rules, and probably paid for the signs with a grant. you can ride right through all the local towns, all day long!!! they have to have gas... right? "Lack of law enforcement (apparently all too common in Mingo, Logan, etc.)" was that some sort of insult??? why don't you like mingo county??? we wuv you... lol |

my truck said he would be on his best behavior, while your little girly truck was around. Point being different vehicles are better suited for and can handle varying trails/conditions. |
I've had them all mentioned (well not Toyota's but) had 2 Nissan frontiers, a GMC 2500 (single cab), an '84 cj8, a Yamaha 660 grizzley, a Kawasaki terryx, the Kawasaki wins hands down, no comparison. on a 4x4 trail the jeep was hard to beat, did ok on trails that would have beat the nissans to pieces.

Not legal in all situations. Excerpts from the governing WV law are:
West Virginia Statute §17F-1-1. Acts prohibited by operator; penalties for violations. (a) No all-terrain vehicle may be operated in this state: (8) Unless operating in compliance with the provisions of section two of this article. (b) An all-terrain vehicle may, for the sole purpose of getting from one trail, field or area of operation to another, be operated upon the shoulder of any road, street or highway referred to in subdivision (2), subsection (a) of this section, other than an interstate highway, for a distance not to exceed ten miles, if: (1) The vehicle is operated at speeds of twenty-five miles per hour or less; and (2) The vehicle is operated at any time from sunset to sunrise, the all-terrain vehicle must be equipped with headlights and taillights which must be illuminated. This is the actual law that applies to paved roads with a centerline. RR |

oh sorry, yeah, i'm ready...
bring your tent and stuff, we'll make a hunting trip of it. or bring your atv, and you can get a hotel in town. lol |
fine...
i looked up the local ordinance for riding atv's on designated roads within the city of williamson. it's been in effect since 2005, most local town have one like it. it is for designated roads only, designated by HM logo's. "most" of the local roads have a HM logo painted on them. no, you can't just jump on 4 lane highways... it is not just lawlessness being overlooked by local police, it's a local exception to state law... if you think about it, there really is no alternative. you can't just leave riders in the woods to die, right??? they have to have gas, food, and occasionally parts too. pike county ky has one just for their local atv dealers' repair shops. i don't think they even have trail heads there(that i know of). https://www.trailsheaven.com/shared/...vordinance.pdf |
