The bill amends section 39-21-26 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to special restrictions on lamps used on motor vehicles and equipment. It specifies that any lighted lamp or illuminating device, excluding headlamps and certain other types of lamps, must be directed so that the high-intensity portion of the beam does not strike the roadway more than seventy-five feet from the vehicle. Additionally, it prohibits individuals from driving vehicles with any lamp displaying a red or green light visible from the front, with exceptions for vehicles where such lights are expressly authorized.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies the use of flashing lights, allowing them only on authorized emergency vehicles, school buses, snow-removal equipment, vehicles owned by funeral homes for escorting funeral processions, and any vehicle indicating a turn or a traffic hazard. The amendments include the insertion of specific language to enhance clarity and remove outdated terms, ensuring that the regulations are up-to-date and comprehensible.
