Helmet Laws

Motorcycles

Licensed or endorsed riders 18 years old or older are not required to wear a motorcycle helmet. Any passenger, no matter the age, must wear a helmet.

Snowmobiles

No mandatory helmet law exists.

Cell Phone Laws

There are no driving restrictions regarding the use of cell phones.

Headlight Laws

You must use your headlights:

  • Between one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise.
  • When weather conditions limit visibility to less than 1,000 feet.
  • When driving on roads that require headlight use (Seward Highway).

Child Safety Seats

  • All kids under the age of four must be secured in a federally-approved child safety seat when riding a vehicle.
  • All kids over the age of four must, depending on age and size, either ride in a secured child safety seat or wear a seat belt.

Unattended Kids or Pets in Cars

If you feel a child or pet has been left unattended in a car for an inordinate amount of time, especially during extreme weather conditions, dial 911 and remain at the vehicle in question until authorities arrive.

Reporting Drunk and/or Unsafe Drivers

Alaska law enforcement authorities strongly advocate the nation's Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately (REDDI) program. If you suspect someone should not be operating a vehicle, dial 911 immediately. In such instances it is better to err on the side of caution.
