Langley residents and visitors, take note of our new ordinance regulating the use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), golf carts, and utility vehicles within town limits.

This measure aims to ensure safety while allowing responsible use of these vehicles on our streets.

Key Points of the Ordinance

Vehicle Operation: ATVs, golf carts, and utility vehicles may be operated on city streets if equipped with necessary lights and safety equipment.

Licensing Requirements: Operators must possess a valid driver's license, with limited exceptions for parade participation.

Safety Measures:

• Helmets are mandatory for operators and passengers under 18 on ATVs
• All vehicles must be operated safely and adhere to a 25 MPH speed limit
• Occupancy is limited to factory-installed seating, not exceeding 6 persons for golf carts and UTVs

Highway Restrictions: Operation alongside state highways is prohibited, though perpendicular crossings are allowed within town boundaries.

Enforcement

Violations can result in fines and court costs up to $200. Parents, guardians, or vehicle owners may be held accountable for violations by underage operators or passengers.

This ordinance is now in effect, having been passed with an emergency clause for immediate implementation.
