Item 1

 
This paragraph does not apply to a snowmobile operated by a
public utility regulated by the Public Utilities Commission
while being operated in the course of the utility's
corporate function, so that public utilities may effectively
and speedily carry out their obligations to the public;

 
F.__A snowmobile may be operated on streets and public ways
in special snowmobile events of limited duration conducted
according to a prearranged schedule and under a permit from
the governmental unit having jurisdiction; and

 
G.__Notwithstanding paragraphs A to F, a snowmobile may be
operated on the extreme right of a public way within the
built-up portion of a municipality, unorganized or
unincorporated township if the appropriate governmental unit
has designated the public way as a snowmobile-access route
for the purpose of allowing snowmobiles access to places of
business.__A public way designated by an appropriate
governmental unit as a snowmobile-access route must be
posted conspicuously at regular intervals by that
governmental unit with highly visible signs designating the
snowmobile-access route.__Before designating a public way as
a snowmobile-access route, the appropriate governmental unit
shall make appropriate determinations that snowmobile travel
on the extreme right of the public way may be conducted
safely and will not interfere with vehicular traffic on the
public way.__For purposes of this paragraph, "appropriate
governmental unit" means the Department of Transportation,
county commissioners or municipal officers within their
respective jurisdictions.__The jurisdiction of each
appropriate governmental unit over public ways pursuant to
this paragraph is the same as its jurisdiction over the
passage of vehicles on public ways pursuant to Title 29-A,
section 2395.__Municipal or county law enforcement officials
having jurisdiction have primary enforcement authority over
any route established under this paragraph.

 
A person who violates this subsection commits a civil violation
for which a forfeiture of not less than $100 nor more than $500
may be adjudged.

 
6.__Failing to stop snowmobile before entering public way.__A
person may not fail to bring a snowmobile to a complete stop
before entering a public way.

 
A person who violates this subsection commits a civil violation
for which a forfeiture of not less than $100 nor more than $500
may be adjudged.
