This recent state law change legalizes the use of ATVs/UTVs on a limited number of roadways with in the State of Iowa and allows local cities to regulate usage in addition to state law.

- ATVs and UTVs may only be operated on private property between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
- While being used in a properly-authorized parade
- When an ATV/UTV is crossing a street pursuant at a 90 degree angle to the flow of cars/trucks using the street
- When the ATV/UTV is operated in the ditch at least five feet from the edge of the road by an abutting property owner/owner’s family member
Golf cars/carts are not a part of this bill and operation is not permitted on any streets in Davenport, except during a properly-authorized parade.
