WORCESTER – The Worcester Police are reminding residents that it’s illegal to operate a recreational vehicle — like an ATV or a dirt bike — on public property within the City.
Riding dirt bikes, ATVs and other recreational vehicles can only be done with the consent of a property owner, according to the WPD.
The police also remind the public that wearing a facial mask between March 15 and Nov. 15 — or anytime the air temperature is higher than 45 degrees Fahrenheit — is a violation of State Laws and City Ordinances related to recreational vehicles.
These violations can result in criminal charges, civil fines and confiscation of involved vehicles.
