Here I am in a nice RV park in Tucson. I'm walking the beagle and see a Polaris RZR 1000 XP down the row. Nice machine. The beagle and I notice it has a South Dakota license plate on the back. I see mirrors and turn signals on the machine. I did not realize South Dakota has a street legal law for ATVs and UTVs.

Then on the other side of the campground is yet another RZR with a Montana license. I knew Montana has a street legal law, but with some caveats if I recall correctly.

And of course Arizona is the leader in street legal ATV laws and has been for a long time. Arizona is a great place to vacation with your ATV. Maybe the law grew from golf carts in retirement communities, I don't know. But you can license and ride your machine on public secondary roads here in Arizona. I have yet to see any machines on the streets like I did in New Mexico. I think Arizona accepts ATVs licensed in other states like they do my pickup.

Arizona is a great place to go ride. There was a member here who lives in Arizona and had a youtube page where he posted his rides. Some nice trails and scnery you wouldn't expect from Arizona. Not sure if he visits the forum anymore or not.

 

I saw a Can Am Maverick X3 riding on the street coming back from the park this afternoon. That is the first ATV / UTV I've seen on the street here in Arizona. He was just as comfortable as can be sitting in traffic, not drawing attention at all. It was a 40mph 4 lane city boulevard with traffic lights.
