One of the Ghost PLUZ maps still shows width regulations. https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/2538d49d-1dd2-4e67-bbad-64f074e432e8/resource/1f698538-a522-4d06-b84f-81d24f8ececb/download/ghostpluzmap-may2018.pdf

OHVs:

Motorized vehicles with an
overall width up to and
including 1.6m (65").

So, if I'm not mistaken the defender and series just squeak in on the width restriction for the Green, Purple and Red tracks.   But under the right hand columns it says X trucks.     What is a truck then? :o

Trucks are 65 to 98" wide.

Trucks are 65 to 98" wide.

A Lightweight is only 60" wide.  So am I a truck or side by side?    Is weight a factor as well?

They need bones to throw to the groups that want zero motorized access.  It is an easy bone to throw because the "4x4" crowd has given up fighting and has become too small to put up a fight.  The OHV groups are still big enough to cause a suitable stink to completely prevent their access.  It is all about who creates the most noise and who is really in charge within the bureaucracy.  Logic, science and reasonable discourse are not part of any decisions.

It sounds like it's time to have a 4x4 rally at the Legeslator building. A drive by the community with a media blitz demanding clarity on these definitions or a petition.

As far as the Ghost PLUZ goes, you can drive on the OHV trails.  But...as Trevor states, they will probably still fine you and you will lose in court.
