Whether you’re hitting the trails on hikes, bikes, camping trips, or riding your ATV or UTV, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds everyone to prioritize safety.

Did you know? Most serious ATV/UTV crashes in Missouri happen on private property and over uneven terrain.

Know the Law: Operators of ATVs and UTVs must follow the same rules as licensed drivers.
 You must have a valid driver’s license to operate a UTV on a highway.
 UTVs are generally intended for agricultural use.

Before you ride, check out the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Off-Road Vehicle Reference Guide. It breaks down state laws for each type of off-road vehicle so you can stay safe and legal.
