WENTZVILLE, Mo. - A plan to legalize utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) and recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) on Wentzville city streets could soon became a reality.

On Wednesday, the Wentzville Board of Aldermen voted 4-2 to pass an ordinance allowing UTVs and ROVs on city streets under certain conditions. The measure mirrors existing rules for golf carts, allowed on Wentzville roads since 2020.

The ordinance would limit use of UTVs and ROVs to subdivisions with speed limits of 25 mph or lower, while allowing crossings at roads with speed limits up to 35 mph.

Drivers would need a valid license, insurance, a VIN number, seat belts for rear-facing seats, a rear-view mirror, a parking brake and and working lights or reflectors at night. Drivers would also need to be at least 18 years
