The new Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ATV / UTV lawbook is out. The photo goes over some of the key changes. Based on some of the posts we have read online, we wanted to help clarify a few things.

Number 4, careless operation causing property damage may cost 3 times the repair cost is designed to help small townships go after riders choosing to destroy unpaved roads / parking lots.

Number 10, No towing people on trails / routes, this doesn't apply to towing machines that have people on / in them. Here is the actual code:

NR64.07(6) TOWING OF OBJECTS. While operating an all-terrain vehicle or utility terrain vehicle, no person may:

While operating on a trail or route open to the public, tow any trailer, toboggan, sled, skis, bicycle, skates or toy vehicle, bearing any person. This paragraph does not apply to the towing of a disabled all-terrain vehicle or utility terrain vehicle.

SHARE THE ROAD: The spring planting season is underway, and hard-working farmers are out on the roads.

🚗Drivers – Keep farmers and other motorists safe by slowing down and staying patient when approaching farm vehicles. It’s illegal to pass agricultural equipment in a no-passing zone. When legally passing, consider the possibility of the farm vehicle turning left into a roadway or field entrance.

🚜Farmers, be aware of the lighting and marking requirement for farm vehicles.

Thank you to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) for spreading this important message!

Be aware…. These messages are scams! Don’t click on any links!

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

We are seeing an increase in scam text messages and calls claiming you have unpaid toll fees, traffic citations, jury duty obligations, or even bail payments. These messages often demand immediate payment to avoid enforcement.

⚠️ Know this: The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office or any legitimate law enforcement agency will NEVER text or call you demanding payment or threatening immediate action.

👉 And a quick reality check: Milwaukee doesn’t even have toll roads — so that “unpaid toll” text is your first clue it’s a scam.

If you receive one of these messages:
• Do not click any links or scan QR codes
• Do not provide personal or financial information
• Delete the message and report it as spam

✔️ You can verify legitimate citations through the Milwaukee County Clerk of Courts at (414) 278-5362 or the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Desk at (414) 278-4712.

Stay alert and help protect others by sharing this information.

With dry weather, winds and low humidity in the forecast, think twice before burning any downed trees or storm debris this week.

Light fuels and vegetation dry out quickly, and wildfires can easily spread with the amount of natural fuel on the ground.

Always check the fire danger and burn permit restrictions before conducting any outdoor burns: https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/wisburn/ #/BurnRestrictions
