Show Volume 70 Number 19 ATV Wednesday, Price 50 Cents May 12, 1993 riders are abusing privilege; ATVs will be confiscated Police Chief Gordon Kiesel reports that ATV riders are abusing their riding privileges within Salina City limits. A Salina City ordinance designates routes through Salina - to be used exclusively for the purpose of access to and from state and federal lands where ATV operation is authorized. The route is as follows: 300 East from the North City boundary of Salina City to the South City boundary of Salina City. 300 North from 400 West to the Easterly Salina City limits. Sandy Lane from 500 West to State Street. State Street between Sandy Lane and 100 South. 200 South between State Street and City limits. 100 West from City limits to Sandy Lane. 100 North from 300 East to City limits. In addition, ATVs may be operated on the streets of Salina City in the most direct route from any residence in Salina to the routes named above. Kiesel says that ATVs must use the approved routes. He added that any ATV being used in any other manner than as stated by the ordinance - will be confis- cated. We hate to do it, he said, but there has to be some -- way to keep the ATVs using only the roads theyre sup- posed to use, he added. He reminds ATV riders that no one under the age of 8 can legally operate an ATV. Also those from age 8 until they get their Utah drivers license are required to complete the Know Before You Go! course and get a safety certificate issued by the Division of Parks and Recreation before operating an ATV. They must also wear a protective helmet. Sometimes kids forget to look at their speedometers, according to Kiesel, and he reminds them that the maximum speed for ATVs on the designated routes through Salina is 10 miles per hour. Also, if the vehicle has headlights, they should be turned on. If the ordinance is violated in any way, there can be a $100 fine. Parents are urged to see that their children comply with the ordinance - and tell them that their ATV could be confiscated if they break the law, Kiesel concluded.
