Winter has barely begun, but already police are getting complaints about snowmobile operators riding on city streets.
The latest was in the area of Labreche Drive and Lovell Avenue, contrary to the City of North Bay’s bylaw.
Snowmobile operators are reminded that they are not permitted to ride snowmobiles within the city limits, say police, except as indicated on approved snowmobile trails and access points, as illustrated on the snowmobile bylaw map.
Visit the Ministry of Ontario’s website under its “Safety” section, for snowmobile safety tips and legislation, such as:
- Driver requirements
- Where to ride
- Rules of the road
- Helmets
- Dangers of driving while impaired
