operation of all terrain vehicles (ATVs), both the three and four-wheeled types. The following
key points are taken from the ATV Act - for a complete copy, please contact the Queen's Printer,
1871 Smith Street, Regina, Sask. S4P 3V7 (306)787-6894.
Section 6 requires that any operation of ATVs on private land must be with the consent of the
owner or occupant of private or Crown land.
Section 7 states that no person shall operate an ATV on the "traveled" portion of the highway -
except where a municipality has passed a bylaw describing the specific roads within their
boundaries where ATVS may be operated (see section 9).
Section 9 of the ATV Act provides municipalities with authority to permit the operation of
ATVs on the "traveled" portion of specific roads within its boundaries by passing a bylaw.
Section 10 states that any order made by the Highway Traffic Board to prohibit the operation of
ATVs is not applicable on any river, lake or other body of water in the winter.
Section 11 provides authority for a municipality to pass a bylaw to prohibit the operation of
ATVs on the "untravelled" portion of any roads within its boundaries; and also on private land,
or municipal land (including hamlet or organized hamlet) or Crown land, all within its
boundaries.
Section 13 states that a bylaw to prohibit the operation of ATVs as per Section 11 is enforceable
only if the areas listed in the bylaw are properly marked and signed.
Section 32 provides for a fine of not more than $1000.00 or imprisonment term of not more than
30 days for violation of any municipal bylaw or the ATV Act.

highways or portions thereof, subject to the approval of the HTB. If the municipality does not wish to permit

3 Section 9 of The All Terrain Vehicles Act empowers council to pass a bylaw permitting the operation of any or all
class/es of ATVs on the traveled portion of all or specified highways in the municipality (excepting provincial
highways). If the municipality chooses to not permit operation of ATVs on the traveled portion, then ATVs are
prohibited from traveling on the traveled portion of highways in accordance with Section 7 of the Act.
Section 11 of the Act empowers the municipality to prohibit operation on the untraveled portion of all or
specified highways in the municipality, excepting provincial highways. Take note of Section 13 of the Act
which states that signage is required.
4A specific future date may be determined by Council, keeping in mind that the bylaw is subject to The Traffic
Safety Act, formerly The Highway Traffic Act. Section 262 of The Traffic Safety Act provides that a bylaw is a
municipal bylaw that has been approved by the HTB.
Certain provisions (e.g. prohibiting the use of school bus "stop" lights) require the approval of the board.
Provisions of bylaws which are inconsistent with provincial legislation may not be enforceable.
