How would a city develop an ordinance authorizing the use of city streets, or portions thereof, by ATVs, and to what extent could a city regulate their use?
If a city determines that use of city streets or portions thereof by ATVs can safely be accommodated, they can pass an ordinance designating the time, place and manner of that use. The ordinance can also restrict such use to only certain days, dates, months and/or times; it could also restrict such use to only certain sponsored events which it would individually approve in advance. However, such an ordinance would have to be consistent with the provisions of the Code of Iowa, and cities would not have the authority to impose more restrictive requirements for operation of ATVs than are found in the Code of Iowa. A city that desires more restrictive requirements would need to follow a procedure for special rule-making by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to authorize more restrictive provisions.
