AR HB1606

Local governments (cities via ordinance, counties via executive order) may designate specific public streets and highways as open to utility task vehicle (UTV) operation within their jurisdiction

UTVs are defined as vehicles 80 inches or less in width, with four or more low-pressure tires, steering wheel, non-straddle seating, rollover protection, and designed for unimproved terrain travel

UTV operators on designated roads must have a valid driver's license, register the vehicle, maintain insurance meeting private passenger motor vehicle requirements, and carry proof of insurance

Required UTV equipment includes at least two headlamps, rear-facing turn signals, at least one brake light, and seatbelts

UTVs cannot operate on roads with speed limits exceeding 55 mph, divided four-lane highways, or roads in state parks; violations constitute a Class C misdemeanor
