step in the right direction.

official map. red is no go, yellow is where you can cross "major" roads.

i know you guys closer to the city will never see anything cool like this :s00ls:

but fuck yeah.... i hope everyone is respectful and it goes well this first year so year two more routes/areas can open, getting over the bridge would be hyyuuuuge and also riverside drive would be sweet.

it's crazy they really made it so you can't get to many "commercial" areas. will have to park and walk over. which is fine.

rdsnake · Mar 4, 2020

A lot of restrictions there. Also the price is kinda high. But I do agree, its a step in the right directions. Is there a lot of golf karts in the area? Is that why this went into effect?

Chester Copperpot · Mar 4, 2020

I mean it's a start at the very least. Once businesses/politicians realize how many motherfuckers have spent untold tens of thousands of dollars on these things and the revenue they bring in both from the registration and ease of hopping in that thing and just cruising the bars/shopping, it'll start to ease up on the restrictions.

Provided Kyle stays on the fucking designated trails/paths.

i think the restrictions on the unit are SUPER reasonable, no DOT tires, nothing about wipers, a windshield, actual sound levels, etc.

the map is limited but from my old house i could have made it "downtown" and to a few gas stations, which would have been sweet.

hundo first year, 50 every year after, i think it's alright.

this likely went into effect because the town has a young mayor right now making fucking moves, it's pretty fucking awesome, new restaurants, stores, parks, etc. he's getting shit done. basically a trump on a small town level :rofl:

yeeeeppp
i mean, even think of possibility of increased home values, im way more interested in homes over there again now with this :rofl:

This is baller as fuck

The actual vehicle requirements I don't have a problem with but the required annual safety inspection, insurance (which I guess is understandable), speed limit, limited hours, limited street access is kinda bogus if you ask me. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump through to run to the gas station?

safety inspection, cop comes to you, that seems pretty easy.
insurance? it'd be idiotic not to have that be a requirement
speed limit? just like normal cars? :rofl:

this can't be a complaint dude.
6am-930pm isn't that bad, nothing good is going to happen on a sxs on city streets after 930pm.
limited street access- again- this is a trial run, if it goes well more streets/areas will be added. either way it's 10000x more than anywhere else (sans johnsburg) is really doing for these things around here.

looking at the map, it'd be easy to get to at least 4 if not more gas stations. probably 20+ restaurants within a 100 yard walk of parking... it's fucking sweet.

Yaj Yak · Mar 4, 2020

i mean from anywhere not in the super restricted areas (south of bull valley road, or north of 120, east of rt31 north, you can make it to a marina, a golf course, multiple restaurants, gas stations, a public pool, many parks, a movie theater, the river walk, multiple grocery stores, a few car washes at least 5 schools etc.

they connect those two "restricted areas" by crossing one road for each and it opens a lot more up.

edit... shit, you can even make it to two gun ranges and a gun store.

:FUCKYEAHAMERICA:

Thought I remember guy from BK saying you cannot have off road tires?

PANDA · Mar 4, 2020

FRG has had a ATV/Golf Cart policy for years. My neighbors all have golf carts (some side by sides) and cruise around on nice days. You can drive anywhere except on 14 but can cross at a few intersections. So you can pretty much get everywhere you want. I think its more of a novelty than anything. City also makes money for the stickers and probably loves ticketing people for not having the right equipment.

it's more of a novelty than anything to you because FRG legitimately has 0 to offer to go to. :rofl:

yep

i asked if they are allowed. :rofl:

that's neat that your neighbors own sxs's though. wise people.

Only one neighbor has one that is street legal. They all have golf carts. I think the policy might have been open to golf carts before ATV's. They have had them since before I moved in 2014.

Bars, Restaurants, gas stations, train station, grocery store, autoparts store, hardware store, carwash, schools, marina, parks/beach. Yeah no movie theater or golf course but I cannot think of a place in FRG you cannot access. My neighbors seriously drive their golf carts from one side of the street to the other. Its so stupid, they rarely take them anywhere. Except my neighbor Steve he takes the RZR to pickup his kids at school. :rofl:

Edit: Actually looking at a map Grovers and Sticks (Bar/Restaurants) would require you to walk a few hundred feet since you can't drive ON 14.
