2024 – DNR Safety Communication #4

Speed kills. Unfortunately, that’s the sad truth.

Excess speeds are one of the contributing factors noted in most of the ATV/UTV fatalities in the state.

When you hit the trails, remember that more speed does not equal more fun. It means more danger. Always follow posted trail signs and speed limits when riding on Wisconsin’s trails.

Also, remember that an ATV/UTV doesn’t handle the same as a vehicle, so watch the weather and be mindful of wet conditions, especially on roadways.

Help keep our trails and routes safe this fall.

Watch your speed, wear your helmet and always operate your machine sober.
