[Adopted 6-4-1980 by Ord. No. 80-8 (Ch.
62 of the 1975 Municipal Code)]
This article shall be known and may be cited
as the City of Ithaca "Motorcycle and Powered Vehicle Law."
The purpose of this article is to protect the
public health, welfare and safety by prohibiting the operation of
motorcycles and other powered vehicles off roads on public property
and by regulating the operation of motorcycles and other powered vehicles
on private lands and places in the City of Ithaca in a manner which
will be compatible with the use of such private lands and which will
promote the safe and proper use of motorcycles and other powered vehicles
for recreation and minimize detrimental effects of such use on the
environment.
The following words shall have the meanings
respectively ascribed to them for purposes of this article:
A motor-driven vehicle having a seat or saddle for the use
of the rider and designed to travel with not more than three wheels
in contact with the ground, but excluding a tractor.
A vehicle designed to carry one or more persons, operating
on wheels and propelled by an internal combustion engine; except,
however, vehicles designed to be used for gardening, agriculture or
lawn or property maintenance.
A.
No person shall operate a motorcycle or powered vehicle
on private lands in the City of Ithaca at any time without the written
consent of the owner or other person legally in possession of said
premises, unless such consent is obviously implied by the nature of
the premises (e.g., parking lots to be used by the public).
B.
No person shall operate a motorcycle or powered vehicle
on any off-road public property within the City or other property
owned by the City of Ithaca at any time unless authorized by an officer
of the City of Ithaca.
[Amended 8-5-1992 by L.L. No. 3-1992]
