§ 2405. Designation  of  highways and public lands for travel by ATVs.
1. Highways. Except with respect to interstate  highways  or  controlled
access  highways, the department of transportation with respect to state
highways, maintained by the state and any other governmental agency with
respect to highways, including bridge and culvert crossings,  under  its
jurisdiction  may  designate and post any such public highway or portion
thereof as open for travel by ATVs when  in  the  determination  of  the
governmental  agency  concerned,  it is otherwise impossible for ATVs to
gain  access  to  areas  or  trails  adjacent  to  the  highway.    Such
designations  by a state agency shall be by rule or regulation, and such
designations by any municipality other than a state agency shall  be  by
local law or ordinance.
2.  Public lands other than highways. A governmental agency other than
a municipality, by regulation or order, and a municipality, by ordinance
or local law, may designate any appropriate  public  lands,  waters  and
properties  other  than  highways under its jurisdiction as a place open
for travel by ATVs upon written request  for  such  designation  by  any
person,  and  may  impose restrictions and conditions for the regulation
and safe operation of ATVs on such public property, such  as  travel  on
designated  trails  and  hours  of  operation. In addition thereto, such
agency or municipality may not require the operator of an ATV to possess
a motor vehicle operator's license. A municipality may charge a fee  for
use of ATVs on such public lands.
3. Signs and markers. (a) Such designated highways or portions thereof
or designated lands shall be identified by markers in such manner as may
be provided by rules and regulations of the commissioner.
(b)  All signs or markers shall be erected at the expense of the state
or municipality, provided, however, that  the  municipality  may  accept
funds   or   contributions  therefor  from  private  persons,  clubs  or
associations interested in the promotion of ATVs.
4. Any regulation, order, local law or ordinance  which  designates  a
highway or portion thereof or designated lands which may be used for ATV
operations  may include rules and impose restrictions and conditions for
the regulation and safe operation of ATVs on the highways and  lands  so
designated,  such as travel on designated trails and hours of operation.
Any restriction or condition not  contained  in  this  chapter  must  be
posted.
5.  Copies of orders, regulations, local laws or ordinances adopted by
governmental agencies pursuant to this section shall be filed  with  the
commissioner.

§ 2408. Special  events. 1. The commissioner shall adopt and may, from

  operators, participants, and observers in such special events. Copies of
  such regulations shall be furnished by the commissioner  to  any  person
  making an application therefor.
2.  Whenever  a  special  event  is proposed to be held, the person in
  charge thereof shall, at  least  thirty  days  prior  thereto,  file  an

  over the site of such event to hold such special event. The  application
  shall  set forth the date and location of the proposed special event and
  such other information as the governmental  agencies  may  require,  and
  such  event  shall  not  be conducted without written authorization from
  such governmental agencies. Governmental agencies shall either grant  or
  deny  authorization  to  hold  a  special event within thirty days after
  receipt of an application for authorization. The commissioner  shall  be
  furnished  with  a  copy  of  all  such applications. No permit shall be
  required for a closed-circuit special event  held  entirely  on  private
  property,  but  appropriate  governmental  agencies shall be notified of
  such event at least thirty days prior thereto.
3. ATVs  operated  at  special  events  shall  be  exempted  from  the
  provisions  of this article concerning mufflers, lights and tires during
  the time of such event, including all pre-race practice at the  location
  of said event.

  practices.   The   commissioner  may  establish  different  courses  and
  curricula for different types of all terrain vehicles. The  commissioner
  may  permit  any  such safety training course to be given by any private
  person,  club,  association  or  municipality  which   meets   standards

  prescribed  by the commissioner. The commissioner shall, upon receipt of
  such information, issue an ATV safety certificate to the person who  has

§ 2410. Operation by minors.  1. Except as provided by subdivision two
  of  this section, no person under the age of sixteen years shall operate
  an ATV except upon lands owned  or  leased  by  his  or  her  parent  or
  guardian,  unless  he  or  she  is under general supervision of a person

3.  The  failure of a person to exhibit an ATV safety certificate upon
  demand to any magistrate  or  any  other  officer  having  authority  to
  enforce  the  provisions  of  this  article shall not be an offense, but
  shall be presumptive evidence that such person is not the holder of such
  certificate.
4. No parent or guardian shall authorize or knowingly permit his child

  of  any  provision of this article, any rules or regulations promulgated
