The county roads designated for use by all-terrain vehicles are two-lane gravel county roads, paved county roads with speed limits of 40 miles per hour or less, and county roads bearing appropriate signage. However, there are more limits to which county roads are included. They must be to the east of Highway 11 and Highway S. 395 (Pendleton to Nye Junction), and south of Highway 74.
