Residents wishing to use UTVs in the city limits must have the vehicle inspected and registered with city hall.
It has been several months since the Greencastle City Council approved the use of UTVs on city streets and Greencastle Police Chief Christopher Jones said his department remains busy inspecting vehicles.
"Everything is pretty mild, but steady right now," Jones told The Putnam County Post.
Residents wishing to use UTVs in the city limits must have the vehicle inspected and registered with city hall. Registration forms can be obtained at Greencastle City Hall, 1 North Locust St.
According to Jones, the department is averaging two to four registrations a week and have issued tag number 82 last week with five more planned for this coming week.
The registration does come with several rules and regulations. All drivers shall meet the following requirements: Be at least 18 years of age or older, possess an Indiana driver's license, have insurance, wear a seatbelt and all passengers must wear a seatbelt. The registration comes with a price tag of $100 for inspection and processing. The permit can be renewed for additional one year periods upon payment of a $35 renewal fee. The permit cannot be transferred to other vehicles or owners.
The ordinance states the vehicles cannot be used on city streets from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and cannot be driven on sidewalks, pathways or city grass and cannot be driven on Veterans Memorial Highway.
There is a $100 fine for those who do not comply and receive a first offense. A second offense would feature a $250 fine and a 60 day suspension of using the vehicle on city streets. A third violation results in a $500 fine and a lifetime suspension.
