I ended up digging through the ordinances at the end which are in the worst type of english. I wish the article was written a bit clearer...
sounds like they’re tired of the side by sides and dirt bikes
I'm surprised they didn't just do a max decibel rule for driving in town. It would have been harder to enforce than an outright ban but would have been a comprise for both sides. Also, with the amount of people who wouldn't comply, it could have made the city extra $$$
It's the 70+ dBA that they don't like, and the ATV's excell at being really noisy. They claim they couldn't monitor the noise level well due to ambient noise, but that the noise caused by the ATV's was so loud that it was affecting the mental and physiological health of residents. It's not Jeep's they are worried about.
This might spell the beginning of the end of OHV in Moab! Sounds like the rumblings of the Green Raw Deal.
I blame...Mitt Romney

With the new rules, I bet we're going to start seeing a lot of suzukiSamurai builds, like Savvy's, in Moab.
We were there during a SXS event, and were like annoying flys. they may be light and smaller, but they sure tore up the trails with their bulldozer like attitude on the trails, just flying thru with little care. I'm not a fan of them.
I hope none of the council members are Ca, transplants, we get blamed for everything. When I built the Federal Courthouse in SLC on the news they would blame California for the storms when clearly they would come from Nevada. Our TJ’s are getting older, in six more years we could call it a classic car event, some of us have earned that status already
There was some chit chat about that on the Moab friends for wheelin FB group a while back. Basically people tired of SxS. Can't blame em.
Itsarubicon has made a video addressing some points of the gmrs discussion
We're good...for now.
This applies to All-terrain vehicles type I, II, and III as defined in Utah:
We would certainly not be type I or II simply due to size/weight but, the saving line for type III is the one I bolded: any vehicle not specifically designed for recreational use. Since Jeeps are specifically designed for public road driving, that (sensibly) leaves us out. Again, for now.
I don't think that Moab would cut it's own throat by banning off-roading for Jeeps and the like, but with the brain-washed millennials constantly wringing their hands, who knows.

No, Romney was a More-man, not a More-onThis might spell the beginning of the end of OHV in Moab! Sounds like the rumblings of the Green Raw Deal.

Doesn't affect registered/licensed vehicles. They are trying to keep the non-resident SXS from driving in town.
