468.01 PURPOSE AND INTENT.
   (a)   The purpose of this chapter is to protect, maintain and enhance the health, safety and general welfare of citizens of the City. It has come to the attention of the Mayor and the City Council that the use of non-highway vehicles on City streets creates a potential traffic hazard for other vehicular traffic as well as a danger to the occupants of non- highway vehicles. After consideration of the volume, speed and character of traffic on the City streets, the City Council has determined that non-highway vehicles may safely travel on or cross City streets and that the public safety will not be jeopardized.
   (b)   Therefore, the intent of this chapter is to regulate the use of non-highway vehicles within the corporate limits of the City as authorized by 625 ILCS 5/11-1426.1.
