(KMZA)--Small utility vehicles licensed by the city of Seneca will now be allowed on streets after dark.
The City Council Wednesday evening approved an amendment to the city’s existing ordinance to allow the vehicles to be operated at night.
The vehicles had been restricted to operation between dawn and dusk.
Council member Bruce Hermesch requested the change at the Council’s September 6th meeting, saying he had been approached by owners of the vehicles. He noted the current ordinance already requires the vehicles to have lights including turn signals.
Passed in May 2010, the ordinance allows micro-utility vehicles, work-site utility vehicles, and low-speed vehicles to be operated in the city if they meet certain equipment requirements. Owners must present proof of insurance, tax assessment and purchase an annual city registration. Operators are required to have a valid driver’s license.
The ordinance specifically excludes all-terrain vehicles.
