GH... pretty much anything with more than 3 wheels is a car here and thus it has to go thru all of the tests cars have to go thru including pollution tests. I think even those Harley three wheelers use car plates here. If I call it a "custom" vehicle there is still an agonizingly long drawn out process to go thru.

For the rest of you guys that have legalized them in some way, I appreciate the feedback but I need details! Let me know as much as poss even if it seems unimportant.

 

hey whats up? How is Arizona? Are there plenty of places to ride there?
I am planning on going down there to see how it is.
I know you live in Phoenix, but how cheap is the land down south more, and how is are the jobs.
Sorry for asking you soo many questions, but I am tired of New Jersey.

 

In Wyo you register it just like a motorcycle. the quad needs a brake light, blinkers, and an electric horn. Thats it.

RoostKing...

 

When you register do you have to have a permanant residence there. What do you have to show to get the registration. Do you have to take it somewhere to have it inspected? How much does it cost to register. Do you need insurance?
Thanks

 

My friend, 4wheelinindakota, has a street legal Sportsman 500. He lives in South Dakota.

Here in Washington ATV's will NEVER be street legal according to the lady that runs the states licensing division. This is crap, oh well.

 

You should be aware that nothing is legal here in MN

 

scratch that one :-(

 

According to our dealer, in Nebraska, there are very few restrictions.
You can't drive it on state highways, but you can cross them if you have to. It IS permissible to drive on the shoulder or ditch for a short distance if need be as long as you are off the pavement.
You must have lights, both headlights and taillights, and they must be on.
On all blacktop secondary roads, you need a safety flag or SMV sign (if you go with the SMV sign, you are limited to 35 MPH to stay legal)
You must obey all traffic laws, and use hand signals when turning & stopping. A brakelight is recommended, but not required.

On top of that, cities may pass ordinances against them while within city limits.

For me it is easy. I live on gravel roads, so all I have to do is try to remember to turn the lights on & obey the traffic laws.

 

Thanks Farmr123. It's OK to ride on the shoulder here too pretty much. But I want a way to go into town on my quad for groceries or something.
