Each class comes with specific requirements and restrictions. Class A reaches top speeds between 30 and 40 mph, requires a class M/MJ license, and can operate in any traffic lane. Class B reaches top speeds between 20 and 30 mph, does not require a specific license, and can only operate in either the right hand lane or along the shoulder. Class C reaches top speeds of 20 mph or less, does not require a specific license, and can only operate in either the right hand lane or along the shoulder.
