6-3-1: FINDINGS OF FACT:
Considering the volume, speed and character of traffic on streets within the City, the City Council has determined that the public safety will not be jeopardized by the operation of certain non-highway vehicles, as specified below, on streets under the City's jurisdiction. This chapter is not to be relied upon by any individual as a determination that operation of non-highway vehicles on City streets is safe or advisable even if done in accordance with this chapter. All persons operating non- highway vehicles must be observant of, and attentive to, the safety of themselves and others, including their passengers, other motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. All persons who operate or ride non-highway vehicles on streets inside the City, do so at their own risk and peril. The City disavows any liability for permitting non- highway vehicles to be operated on City streets. The enactment of this ordinance is not intended to designate the operation of a non-highway vehicle as an intended or permitted use of property with respect to Section 3-102 of the Local Government and Government Employees Tort Immunity Act, 745 ILCS 10-101, et seq. (Ord. 1518, 8-3-2020)
