Summary

Existing law prohibits a person from operating an off-highway vehicle upon a highway. However, off-highway motor vehicles issued an identification plate or device may cross highways or be driven or operated on a local highway under specified conditions. This bill would authorize a local authority of a city having an area of at least 200 square miles to adopt rules and regulations, by ordinance or resolution, to temporarily allow the use of public streets under its jurisdiction by off-road vehicles for a period of not more than 18 months if, after a specified public hearing, specified conditions are found to exist. The bill would also authorize the local authority to issue permits for this purpose and to charge a fee to cover the costs incurred by the local authority.
