RIS OHV Permit: A current valid OHV Permit is required at all times for operating an OHV-type vehicle (see above for description) on RIS-owned/managed property. The permit must be displayed at all times while operating the vehicle on RIS-owned/managed property. The permit is non-transferable and valid for events only, starting 48 hours before the start and ending 12 hours after its conclusion. Permit fees are $25.00/event, and $40.00/season.
Speed: The maximum speed limit is 8 kph/5 mph.
Hours of Operation: No motorized traffic between midnight and 8 a.m.
Helmets: With the exception of golf carts, drivers and passengers of all other OHV’s must wear a motorized vehicle helmet that meets one of these standards: DOT, SNELL, BSI, CSA.
Driver/Operator: The driver/operator must be at least 16 years of age, have a valid driver’s license, and be insured to operate the unit.
Passengers: The number of passengers must not exceed the seating capacity of the vehicle.
Registration/License Plate: With the exception of golf carts, you must have a registration plate clearly visible on the back, clean, and displayed horizontally.
Liability/Insurance: You must have third-party liability insurance, a minimum $1,000,000.00, for every OHV operated on RIS-owned/managed property and your insurance must cover third-party liability. You and your passenger/s assume all risks that relate to owning, driving, and riding the OHV on RIS-owned/managed property. Third-party liability insurance for golf carts is not presently available in Nova Scotia; should that change or if it is available where you reside, it will be required. Proof of insurance may be requested at any time while on RIS property; if not available the unit will be parked. If you are not the vehicle owner you will need a Certificate of Insurance naming you as additional insured on the owner’s policy for the event date/s showing liability coverage of no less than $1,000,000.
Vehicle Ownership: If you use an off-road vehicle at RIS that you do not own, you must have proof of valid liability insurance as described above from the owner naming you as co-insured for the applicable dates. Proof of insurance may be requested.
Impaired Driving: The same laws apply to RIS property as driving on the street; PLEASE do not operate your vehicle if you have consumed any substance which may cause impairment.
OHV terms of use will be strictly enforced and are subject to change at all times.
YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND CHARGED FOR DAMAGING OR DESTROYING RIS OR NEIGHBOURING PROPERTY
