Arkansas Counties May Open Roads to UTVs Under Act 922

What changed

Arkansas counties can open roads to utility task vehicles under Act 922. The law shifts part of the decision about where UTVs may operate to county governments.

What riders should check

UTV riders should confirm whether a county has opened a particular road before riding there. They should also review any county rules connected to that road. The title of the Cincinnati Enquirer report identifies Act 922 as the governing law, but it does not establish a single set of rider requirements that applies to every county.

County-by-county decisions

The practical effect of the law depends on action by individual Arkansas counties. Riders should look for county announcements or official road rules before using a UTV on a public road. Counties’ decisions determine which roads are open under the law.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reported on Arkansas counties opening roads to UTVs and the requirements riders need to know under Act 922. The primary record linked by that report is not included in the record here, so no additional legal requirements are stated.
