County commissioners are asking that the sheriff’s department begin
more actively enforcing a county ordinance limiting where and how people can
drive four wheelers.
In 2000 the county commission adopted an ordinance regulating the use
of off-road vehicles and go-carts after ATVs were implicated in doing some
pretty major damage local roadsides and ditches.
The county rule prohibits ATVs from public property, including ditches
along local roads, and the state bans children from driving ATVs on or along any
state road.
County commissioners have now asked that the sheriff’s department be
reminded of the rule because of damage reported along Highway 67 in Carrabelle
and Pal rivers road in Apalachicola as well as some other locations.
The action was taken because the road camp says some of the damage is
so severe it makes it difficult to mow the roadsides in those areas and it
happens so often that the road crews have a hard time keeping the roadsides
cleaned up.
