Are ATVs street legal?
As a general rule, ATVs are not street legal. However, there are some local city and county governments that will allow the machines to be on public streets and roads. Check with local officials to see if it is okay to ride on these public thoroughfares. Most ATVs are allowed on US Forest Service roads with an OHV sticker issued within the state that that particular road is located. For instance, in Colorado an ATV has to display a sticker issued annually by the Colorado State Parks. This allows for that particular quad to operate on forest service roads marked for ATV use within Colorado. If the trail or road is not marked for ATV use, then the vehicle is not allowed to operate on that pathway. The sticker does not allow for that vehicle to be operated in other states like Wyoming or Utah.

Are ATV's street legal in Michigan?
Three and four-wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATV) cannot be upgraded for on-road use. ATV's are manufactured with a live axle, rather than a differential gear, which seriously affects their handling characteristics when operated on paved surfaces. So there is no possible way they can be street legal unless the manufacture make a ATV with a differential gear. --The above statement is wrong. Many atvs currently sold come with open differentials, which allow the rear tires turn at different speeds (just like every unmodified truck on the road). Atvs have been street legal in many states for years. In Ohio you are allowed to ride on secondary roads without any modifications, unless a specific jurisdiction states otherwise. MI has an extensive off-highway-vehicle trail system which incorporates the use of many public roads. I imagine the rules are similar to OH (no state routes, interstates, city, or juristictions that state otherwise). Atvs remain illegal to operate on roads in many states due to the fact that manufacturers state plainly that their atvs are not intented to be operated on public roads. Actually, 1 year ago they made the law that you can ride a ATV (fourwheeler) on any non state roads in Michigan if your four wheeler has the correct appliances, and if you either have your ATV lisence or you are 16 years or older.
