Madison - All-terrain vehicle owners who use their ATVs to plow snow can do so legally in Wisconsin this season.
Under new state rules adopted this year, drivers with a snow removal device attached to their ATVs can operate them on sidewalks or public roads up to two miles under certain circumstances. The ATVs need to have a flashing or rotating yellow light and must be operated on roads with a posted speed limit of 45 mph or less.
Wisconsin ATV Association president Randy Harden said the law change just formalizes what many drivers were already doing. The Appleton Post-Crescent reported that the rules run from Oct. 1 to April 30.
