PAW PAW, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Off-road vehicles are no longer allowed on county roads in Van Buren County.
That is any road that starts with the name CR but Van Buren County Road Commission managing director Bret Witkowski says local governments can apply for a waiver from the ban.
That has happened in Porter Township.
ORVs are allowed on all local roads, cannot go faster than 25-miles-an-hour, need effective brakes and throttle, headlights, taillights, brake lights, and seat belts.
Amusing that orvs are so controlled yet bicycles do not have any requirements and the bicycle lobbyists want their own lanes on county roads. Farm vehicles are exempt and the Amish get special treatment. What’s wrong with this picture?
