It is unlawful for any person to operate a snowmobile or all- terrain vehicle any place within the limits of the city unless it is equipped with the following:
A. Brakes: Brakes adequate to control the movement of and to stop and hold the snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle under any condition of operation.
B. Deadman Throttle: A safety or so called "deadman" throttle in operating condition. A "safety or deadman throttle" is defined as a device which, when pressure is removed from the engine accelerator or throttle, causes the motor to be disengaged from the driving track.
C. Lights:
1. When operated between the hours of sunset and sunrise or at times of reduced visibility, at least one clear lamp attached to the front, with sufficient intensity to reveal persons and vehicles at a distance of at least one hundred feet (100') ahead during the hours of darkness under normal atmospheric conditions. Such headlamp shall be so aimed that glaring rays are not projected into the eyes of an oncoming snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle operator.
2. The snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle shall also be equipped with at least one red taillamp having a minimum candlepower of sufficient intensity to exhibit a red light plainly visible from a distance of five hundred feet (500') to the rear during hours of darkness under normal atmospheric conditions.
D. Pennant Flag: A pennant flag of red or blaze material, at least one hundred forty four (144) square inches in area, at a height of not less than six feet (6') from the ground level at any time when the vehicle is crossing the roadway of any public highway or public streets, unless the operator is in a standing or semistanding position.
E. Reflective Materials: Reflective material at least sixteen (16) square inches on each side, forward of handlebars, so as to reflect lights at a ninety degree (90°) angle.
F. Mufflers: Standard mufflers which are properly attached and in constant operation and which reduce the noise of operation of the motor to the minimum necessary for operation. No person shall use a muffler cutout, bypass, straight pipe or similar device on any snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle, and the exhaust system shall not emit or produce a sharp or popping or cracking sound.
