A poll measuring the support/nonsupport of ATVs and UTVs being allowed to travel on all roadways in Grayson County leaves no doubt how voters feel on the issue.
On Thursday, Grayson Co. Fiscal Court took up whether to adopt legislation that allows off-road vehicles to be used on all county roadways except the Western Kentucky Parkway.
Magistrates were asked by three citizens their collective stance on Senate Bill 63, which calls for off-road vehicles to be treated as motor vehicles in all ways, from registering the vehicle with the County Clerks Office, to paying yearly taxes, and outfitting the vehicles with seat belts along with many other requirements.
The bill, which was passed during the latest General Assembly session, went into effect late last month.
The entire 22-page bill can be found by clicking here.
Magistrates, who were aware of the legislation, said more study on the matter was needed before a vote on whether to adopt Senate Bill 63 can be held.
In the meantime, K105’s poll posted Friday morning asked: “Do you support off-road vehicles like ATVs and UTVs to be used on all county roadways?”
As of 7:00 p.m. Monday, there were 478 (63 percent) votes for allowing off-road vehicles on county roadways, and 281 (37 percent) votes against the idea.
