Expansion of UTV usage in Tonganoxie moved forward with approval of ordinances addressing the vehicle use.
Tonganoxie City Manager George Brajkovic laid out ordinances and fees that he said staff did a good job of “streamlining” for residents who want to operate the vehicles within city limits.
If the ordinances become official after legal publication in The Mirror, the changes could go into effect next month.
Some of the highlights of updated UTV usage would be that they can only be operated on streets with speed limits of 30 mph or less. They also would need to be compliant with noise and standard traffic ordinances.
Valid driver’s licenses will be required to operate the vehicles, along with a city registration sticker that will need to be displayed on the UTVs.
