upon any street, highway, or roadway in this State. If |
| | | SB1802 | - 14 - | LRB102 13376 RAM 18720 b |
|
| 1 | | the operation of a non-highway vehicle is authorized under | 2 | | subsection (d), the non-highway vehicle may be operated only | 3 | | on streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or | 4 | | less , except that all-terrain vehicles and recreational | 5 | | off-highway vehicles may be operated on rural roads . This | 6 | | subsection (b) does not prohibit a non-highway vehicle from | 7 | | crossing a road or street at an intersection where the road or | 8 | | street has a posted speed limit of more than 35 miles per hour. | 9 | | (b-5) A person may not operate a non-highway vehicle upon | 10 | | any street, highway, or roadway in this State unless he or she | 11 | | has a valid driver's license issued in his or her name by the | 12 | | Secretary of State or by a foreign jurisdiction. | 13 | | (c) No person operating a non-highway vehicle shall make a | 14 | | direct crossing upon or across any tollroad,
