If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes regarding vehicle lighting laws to include implements of husbandry and construction equipment that are incidentally operated or moved on highways. Specifically, it would expand the applicability of existing regulations on clearance and marker lamps, reflectors, and stoplights to these types of vehicles, which are currently not covered under the law. The bill would also require that these vehicles be equipped with two strobe lights on the rear and one strobe light on each side, which may be attached by a magnet.
Additionally, the bill would make several technical changes to existing requirements for larger vehicles. It would stipulate that buses or trucks 80 inches or more in width and exceeding 30 feet in length must have a third side marker lamp on each side, as well as a third reflector on each side for vehicles of the same size. These updates aim to enhance safety on highways by ensuring that all relevant vehicles are properly equipped with necessary lighting and reflective devices.
