It is unlawful to coast on a sled down a public highway.

The Law

In the winters of yesteryear, children would use the icy, sloping streets as their personal toboggan runs. As motor vehicles became common, mixing speeding sleds with unpredictable cars turned out to be a fatal combination. The state outlawed highway coasting to ensure kids stick to the safety of designated sledding hills and parks. It is a nostalgic reminder of when roads belonged to whoever had the fastest sled.
