Illegal dirt bike, ATV driving on streets: How Salisbury looks to take on ‘slippery’ issue

Salisbury leaders are aiming to tackle illegal, and often dangerous, dirt bike and all-terrain vehicles driving in the area. The issue isn’t unique to the Eastern Shore — officials in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., for example, have been wrestling with it for years. As part of an effort during the past year to crack down on off-road vehicles being ridden illegally on city streets in Hagerstown, Maryland, officers staked out a local gas station in late April based on a tip that riders are known to fuel up there.
