AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine lawmakers might put limits on the size of all-terrain vehicles.

In recent years, larger ATVs sometimes called “side-by-side ATVs” have grown in popularity. Republican Rep. Tim Theriault of China has proposed size and weight limits for the vehicles.

The bill comes as some in the state have voiced concerns that the large ATVs contribute to erosion on the state’s expansive trail network.
