Medium-speed vehicle (MSV) is a vehicle registration category in some states of the United States where applicable vehicles are allowed to travel on roads at speeds up to NaNmph. The safety regulations for MSVs are more stringent than those for Low-speed vehicles.[1]
Montana's SB0185 was the first law to define this class of vehicle.[2] Minnesota[3] and Washington State[4] have laws that allow for vehicles that travel up to 35mph, Tennessee's laws allow for vehicles that travel up to 40mph, and Colorado, Kentucky, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas all have laws allowing MSVs that travel up to 45mph. Maryland's law considers the speed capability of the particular vehicle.[1]
