Additional PA Law information There are 2,000 miles of groomed trails in Pennsylvania. Liability Insurance is mandatory for all snowmobiles. Helmets must be worn by everyone. Roads in the state are not opened unless indicated they are a joint use. They are mainly Township roads in sparsely populated areas. Same rule applies to road shoulders. You may legally ride in ditches. Speed limits are what is posted for that road if it is a joint use road. Trail permits are not required for out of state snowmobilers. Any state that honors PA registration in their state will have their registration honored in PA. |
