ATV on county roads

[FCS-04]

A buddy and I were thinking about riding county roads from his house in williams to redbird SRA tomorrow. Both side by sides are registered and insured and both greene and lawrence county allow atv's on county roads. Is there anything we might be missing that could get us into trouble? Any town ordinances in either county we need to know about?

Go for it. I do. I rode all over Greene county and all around Acton.

I know a CO who frowns on this practice. I've seen him write tickets for 4wheelers on paved roads.

I do not know all the ins and outs of the "by the book" laws that pertain, but I'd be sure before I risked having my machine impounded.

Did 45 miles yesterday on county roads, passed a CO who just gave me the nod and wave. I'm curious as to what the CO would give tickets for if the operator was following county specific laws? I do know certain townships have ordnances that differ from the county and that's why I asked the question in the OP.

I believe Green is perfectly legal, on county roads. Not State Highways. Heck, Dugger WANTS ATV riders to go between town and Redbird for food, fuel, etc....

I made that map and keep it updated for DNR. I have a copy of every local ordinance that allows ATVs on county roads if anyone need to see one.

Unfortunately here in Ky riding on county roads is forbidden. With one exception, in the use of farming operations, thus we keep a 15 gallon electric weed sprayer in the back all the time to look like farmers. I plan on putting a slow moving vehicle sign on the back so they wont look so hard. We have a Mule side by side.
