Use of public roadways and their rights-of-way (ROWs) by ROV/ATV users have resulted in maintenance issues as well as safety concerns, in part from their interaction with typical roadway users. This project will obtain input from local agencies, law enforcement, state departments of transportation (with a safety and maintenance focus), and ROV/ATV users via surveys. It will analyze South Dakota ROV/ATV crash data. It will conduct interviews of South Dakota agency personnel. The result will be to identify potential strategies to address the maintenance and safety impacts of ROV/ATV users of public roadways and their ROWs.
Public road users, ROV/ATV users, and SDDOT will benefit from the results of this research, as the strategies identified will seek to address the safety and operational impacts of shared use.
