Mich. Admin. Code R. 318.145 - Vehicles, personal assistive mobility devices, electric bicycles, and animals

Rule 45.

(1) Though some of the roads within Mackinac Island State Park may be capable of supporting a motor vehicle, none of the roads are designed for motor vehicular travel. A person shall not operate a motor vehicle anywhere within Mackinac Island State Park without proper permission. On other land under the jurisdiction of the commission, a person shall not operate a motor vehicle without proper permission, except in an area or on a road clearly designated for the parking or operation of motor vehicles.

(2) An individual with a physical impairment that substantially limits the ability of the individual to walk that relies on a personal assistive mobility device may operate the device without a permit on all properties under the jurisdiction of the commission, provided that the individual does not carry any passengers. Carrying passengers on a personal assistive mobility device is prohibited.

(3) An individual shall not operate an electric bicycle within Mackinac Island State Park.

(4) Notwithstanding subrule (3) of this rule, an individual with a physical impairment that substantially limits the ability of the individual to pedal a bicycle may use an electric bicycle within Mackinac Island State Park only if the electric bicycle has a manufacturer's label confirming that it is a class 1 electric bicycle. An electric bicycle is a class 1 electric bicycle if it is equipped with an electric motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and that disengages or ceases to function when the electric bicycle reaches a speed of 20 miles per hour.

(5) An individual shall not ride or lead a horse, other riding animal, or pack animal on, or allow the animal or any animal-drawn vehicle to use or travel on, any areas determined unsafe for such use by order of the commission and posted against such use.

(6) An individual shall not possess a dog on land under the jurisdiction of the commission unless it is under the individual's immediate control or have a dog within any area used as a bathing beach. A dog that is found not in the possession of or under the immediate control of its owner or the owner's agent, or any dog found creating a nuisance or disturbance, may be removed or placed under restraint.
