This chapter is adopted in the interest of public safety. Utility vehicles, hereinafter “UTVs”, are not designed or manufactured to be used on public streets and roads, hereinafter “street(s)”, and the town in no way advocates or endorses their operation on streets. The town, by regulating such operation, is merely addressing safety issues. This chapter is not to be relied upon as a determination that operation on streets is safe or advisable even if done in accordance with this chapter. All persons operating UTVs must be observant of, and attentive to the safety of themselves and others; including their passengers, other motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. All persons that operate or ride UTVs on streets inside the town do so at their own risk. The town shall have no liability under any theory of liability, for permitting UTVs to be operated on streets under legislative authority granted by the State of North Carolina, and pursuant to such legislative authority, such UTV operation shall be in accordance with this chapter.
