funny I was just having this talk with one our business partners who has a Jagged X yes that is the case! can run on any road that has speed limit under 35mph.We went camping this summer at orv in Ellensburg wa.The ranger stopped us on the dirt and said we couldn't even cross the roads on our machines to get to another trail system.He was the one who told us that this was in the works and its a done deal just need to take your machine into the Wa inspection need a horn, mirrors,turn signal and then an issued plate and we can go everywhere and anywhere! It was kinda funny cause he was say shit you can even ride it to work if you wanted as long as you stay on the under 35mph roads!!!!!

That law has been passed but the state does not have all it's ducks in a row yet. Last I heard was March 31st as being the date the state will start allowing dealers to do the DOT inspection to get your paperwork. Towns and cities still have to ok the ordinance. But from what I was told, the counties will be oushing the issue to get the license revenue.
It will be cool once we can use all the BLM land and logging roads when it does pass. And how nice will it be to ride to the store in our Mavericks to buy beer and wings?

I live in King county, the death threat for anything fun. I can't imagine that riding on the streets will be anything but a shooting offence here. I know that there are some small towns on the dry side that are atv & utv friendly. If they let us on the streets then they would have to let us on the forest service roads as well.
I won't be holding my breath.

For sure!
If I could drive my maverick on the street, I would be driving it everywhere I can!
X2 on Maxdun's comments,
I live in Snohomish county and don't think there's much chance of any approval of this anytime in my lifetime. There's lots of small towns in the more rural parts of the county but most folks there already ride on the roads, so not much new ...

oh its going to happen here in Spokompton all we care about is revenue. The key for me will be having the ability to run logging road to get to another trail system without fear of getting a ticket.Over In CDA Id down by Kingston has some of the best trail systems for our rides.The problem Is moving from one systen to another woithout being caught.Now with a plate Its all good.Shit they ride cows to work so not too worried about it.Also ORV tabs for ID Is sooo much cheaper than ours we have 5 dirtbikes also and before I made the switch to the Id tabs I was paying alot of money every year but now I can ride in either state with no issues!
