4 | subsection (d), the non-highway vehicle may be operated only | ||||||
5 | on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or | ||||||
6 | less , except that all-terrain vehicles and recreational | ||||||
7 | off-highway vehicles may be operated on rural roads . This | ||||||
8 | subsection (b) does not prohibit a non-highway vehicle from | ||||||
9 | crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or | ||||||
10 | street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour. | ||||||
11 | (b-5) A person may not operate a non-highway vehicle upon | ||||||
12 | any street, highway, or roadway in this State unless he or she | ||||||

20 | State except at an intersection of the highway with another | ||||||
21 | public street, road, or highway. | ||||||
22 | (c-5) (Blank). | ||||||
23 | (d) A municipality, township, county, or other unit of | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | the public safety will not be jeopardized. The Department may | ||||||
2 | authorize
the operation of non-highway vehicles on the | ||||||
3 | roadways under its jurisdiction if the Department determines | ||||||
4 | that the public safety will not be jeopardized. The unit of | ||||||

6 | non-highway vehicles that are authorized to be used on its | ||||||
7 | streets. | ||||||
8 | Before permitting the operation of non-highway vehicles on | ||||||
9 | its roadways,
a municipality, township, county, other unit of | ||||||
10 | local government, or the Department must consider the volume, | ||||||
11 | speed, and character of traffic on the roadway and determine | ||||||
12 | whether non-highway vehicles may safely travel on or cross the | ||||||
13 | roadway. Upon determining that non-highway vehicles may safely | ||||||
14 | operate on a roadway and the adoption of an ordinance or | ||||||
15 | resolution by a municipality, township, county, or other unit | ||||||
16 | of local government, or authorization by the Department, | ||||||

18 | If a roadway is under the jurisdiction of more than one | ||||||
19 | unit of government, non-highway vehicles may not be operated | ||||||
20 | on the roadway unless each
unit of government agrees and takes | ||||||
21 | action as provided in this subsection. | ||||||
22 | (d-5) A unit of local government, including a home rule | ||||||
23 | unit, may not regulate the operation of non-highway vehicles | ||||||
24 | in a manner inconsistent with the regulation by the State of | ||||||
25 | the operation of non-highway vehicles under this Code. This | ||||||
26 | subsection is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent | ||||||
2 | exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised | ||||||
3 | by the State. | ||||||
