Snowmobiles must be visible to others whenever there is not enough natural light. Maine requires headlights and taillights to be displayed from sunset to sunrise, and also at any time when atmospheric conditions reduce visibility to about 500 feet or less. This rule is all about safety in low-light and low-visibility situations, not about the day of the week or the location of operation. The other options miss this safety threshold—it’s not limited to daylight, weekends, or private land.
