In Eastern Washington where we ride, anyone under 12 is supposed to stay off the roads. At 12 you need to have a permit that shows you attended a free safety class and be accompanied by adults. Fortunately for me, my younger ones have no interest in sledding so I don't have to worry about it. We have areas on the road where a sign states "snowmobilng is allowed" but you have to be cautious and yield to vehicles. There isn't any restrictions on road crossing that I know of up there. The Ranger rides around and stops people at random and checks for registrations but that's all unless your doing something stupid. It's pretty relaxed all in all. Cans will get you sent home, if he pulls you over and you have a can, he will do a decibel test and send you home if you don't pass. If he catches you on the trail again with the can, you could get impounded and have to pay to get your sled back and sign a statement saying you will not ride on public propery with a can on. Since were all property owners, the ranger knows us and doesn't give us too much trouble.
