Snowmobile Bylaws & Ethics

Alberta Beach Off Highway Vehicle By-Law

The new by-law came into effect on January 13, 2004. The by-law allows the use of off highway vehicles within the Village limits of Alberta Beach on certain locations. Off highway vehicles are not permitted to travel on 47th Street or on 50th Avenue except to cross them. The off highway vehicles may utilize other streets, avenues and alleys to make their way to permitted areas outside the Village limits. Off highway vehicles are not permitted in the parks or school grounds. All riders of off highway vehicles must wear a helmet, and there cannot be more riders on the vehicle than permitted by the manufacturer. The speed limit for off highway vehicles in the village is 10 km/hr and they are not to be operated between the hours of 11 pm and 8 am. The Off Highway Vehicle Regulations and the Traffic Safety Act also govern the use of off highway vehicles when in the Village limits as well as outside the Village limits. Any person found contravening any section of the by-law could face a fine and seizure of the off highway vehicle.

Copies of the by-law are available at the Village Office.
