Are ATVs street legal in Michigan?
–The above statement is wrong. Many atvs currently sold come with open differentials, which allow the rear tires turn at different speeds (just like every unmodified truck on the road). Atvs have been street legal in many states for years. In Ohio you are allowed to ride on secondary roads without any modifications, unless a specific jurisdiction states otherwise. MI has an extensive off-highway-vehicle trail system which incorporates the use of many public roads. I imagine the rules are similar to OH (no state routes, interstates, city, or juristictions that state otherwise). Atvs remain illegal to operate on roads in many states due to the fact that manufacturers state plainly that their atvs are not intented to be operated on public roads.
