Here is a briefing on the requirements to make your ATV street legal in Utah:
Safety Inspection Certificate
Registration and License Plate
Motor Vehicle Insurance Coverage
Class D Motor Vehicle Operators License
Equipment Required:
Headlamps
Tail Lamps
Brake Light
License Plate Light
Red Reflectors in the Rear
Turn Signals Amber Front, Red Rear
Brakes
Horn
Muffler Meets Driveby Noise Ordinaces
Rear View Mirrors
Helmet
Windshield or Wear Eye Protection
Speedometer – Illuminated at Night
No Oversized Tires over Mfg’r Recommendation
Maximum speed limit is 45 mph.
My Can Am Limited meets these requirements as it sits in the garage. Too bad I can’t yet ride it on the roads in my scenic neighborhood. I’m ready when the time comes!
The dealer where I got my Can Am also sells motorcycles. The ATV requirements above are very similar to motorcycle requirements. Motorcycles would be a tough sell if you could not license them and ride them on public roads. ATVs are different, but the street legal advantage is still huge. It would make them an easier sell and a lot more useful in my view.
