UTV street legal?

I posted this in another category, but, can a UTV made street legal? Emissions would fall under a motorcycle I believe, but other than a windshield, horn, turn signals, what else would I need?

Update:

I didn't post hoping the "answer would change" I posted to find out what it would take. If you can't add insight, no reason n to get nasty.

    Crash test certification, airbags, emissions control gear it doesn’t count as a motorcycle, and even new motorcycles must meet appropriate emissions laws), seatbelts, collapsible steering column, dual-circuit braking, rollover protection. 

    By no means an even remotely exhaustive list.

    They’re only legal for very short trips on roads between adjacent plots of offroad land. Such as a farmer or park-keeper may need to relocate between one field/park and another which are very close together.

    It isn't a matter of making it legal, it is a matter of moving somewhere where they allow them on public roadways.

    You cannot make a UTV street legal, no matter what you do to it. Sorry, but asking in a different forum hoping that the truth will change was just downright foolish. Accept it. You cannot license it for street use in any state in the United States.

    Others have had the same idea.

    Notice that they have all failed.

    FYI -- UTVs fail emissions exactly the way dirt-only motorcycle fail emissions.

    Not a chance.  The vehicle has to be safety and emission tested for it to be street legal
