§291C-53  Restrictions on use of
controlled-access roadway or highway.  (a)  The director of transportation
by rules adopted in accordance with chapter 91, and the counties by ordinance,
may regulate or prohibit the use of any controlled-access roadway or highway
within their respective jurisdictions by any class or kind of traffic which is
found to be incompatible with the normal and safe movement of traffic.  Persons
operating motorcycles which are otherwise permitted on a controlled-access
roadway or highway shall be permitted to use any high occupancy vehicle lane
designated on such roadway or highway.  For the purposes of this subsection,
"high occupancy vehicle lane" means a designated lane of a laned
roadway where the use of such designated lane is restricted to vehicles
carrying at least the minimum number of persons designated by the director of
transportation as indicated on official signs and other official
traffic-control devices, and to other vehicles as provided by rules adopted in
accordance with chapter 91, or by county ordinance.  Notwithstanding any law to
the contrary, no person shall operate a neighborhood electric vehicle on any
controlled-access roadway or highway.



(b)  The director of transportation or a county
adopting any such prohibition shall erect and maintain official traffic-control
devices on the controlled-access roadway or highway on which such prohibitions
are applicable and when in place no person shall disobey the restrictions
stated on such devices. [L 1971, c 150, pt of §1; am L 1983, c 123, §1; am L
