OHVs: Did You Know?...

Using Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs) for recreational purposes can be a lot of fun, but OHVs have the potential for personal injury or even death. This is why Parkland County Peace Officers educate users about municipal bylaws and provincial acts relating to proper OHV use and safety precautions.

Can you ride your OHV in a Subdivision or Hamlet?

OHVs are allowed only on the road surface and not in the ditch. This does not include provincial highways or ditches along provincial highways. The maximum speed limit while riding on a road surface is 30 km/hr. Check here to find out which subdivisions and land areas do NOT allow OHV travel.

Also, OHV operators should not ride on other people's property unless they have received permission from the property owner. Unauthorized riding is:

· Trespassing

· Against the law

· Damaging to crops, fences, and other valuable items

Parkland County Peace Officers are active on our Enforcement Services OHVs throughout the seasons, and also make proactive patrols in our patrol vehicles. Officers interact with riders and use a combination of education and enforcement when dealing with OHV operators. For more information, residents can find more details at OHV use in Parkland County.
