The Yukon government is inching toward establishing an effective framework to controlling the use of off-road vehicles.
The territory is one of the few jurisdictions in Canada that doesn’t have a practical and implemented template for managing the popular vehicles.
They include quads, side-by-sides, amphibious vehicles such as ARGOs, mini-bikes, dirt bikes and any motor vehicle that’s being driven elsewhere than a highway, regardless of whether it’s registered under the Motor Vehicles Act.
That’s about to change, although it will take some time to set up all of the framework for the new regulation announced Thursday.
