Ind. Law - Floyd County passes ATV ordinance
Updating this ILB entry from Oct. 15th, concerning reconsideration of an ordinance allowing all-terrain vehicles operated by farmers to use Floyd County roads, WVHF-TV News out of Jeffersonville reports:
Floyd County commissioners say the ATV ordinance they approved last night is strictly to help local farmers. The ordinance allows ATV travel on country roads for agricultural purposes only.Drivers must be licensed and have liability insurance. Vehicles must also have lights on at all times, and must travel as close to the shoulder of the road as possible.
Commissioner Mark Seabrook tells Indiana 9 he hopes people will comply with, and not abuse, the ordinance. Seabrook says the commissioners had a discussion with the Floyd County Sheriff to make sure law enforcement is on the lookout for people violating the ordinance. A similar ATV ordinance passed in Clark County this past June.
