New Highway &
Motor Vehicle
Laws Take Effect

Although the Legislature

raised the nighttime speed.li-|,

mit on Michigan Interstate

freeways to 70 miles an hour,+-:
the new speed will not take <4

fect until September 6.

which is/90 days after the.

islature officially adjourn
Secretary of State James M.

Hare, in listing various new
highway and motor vehicle
laws, reminded Michigan mo
torists: that most law enforcement officers were still using
the present legal limits as the
basis for issuing violation.tickets.

Other laws passed by the
1963 Legislature which take effect in September prohibit. the
operation of any motor vehicle
on any highway with parking
lights only; establish a 45 mile
minimum speed on freeways;
require every school bus to be
equipped with a large convex.
mirror to enable the driver to
~observe through its use~ the
road from the front bumper
forward to a point whére direct observation is possible.~

~Tt is my hope that these new
laws will help make Michigan
a safer state in which to drive.~
Hare said: ~Not all of the sixteen laws. involving motor vehicles and: highways were directly sponsored by the Department of State or the Michigan
State Safety Commission, but
they tend to make uniform
-Michigan~s traffic code with

those of other states,~- Hare said. |

said.

~Some of the new laws are
highly specialized, like that, requiring two red. reflectors on

tractors or reéquiting that the

name of a truck lessee be painted on the side of leased vehicles, and are of primary interést
to owners of other than passenger ~ars,~ Hare pointed out.
Other laws make it unlawful

to park, stop, or leave unatténd- |

ed any motor vehicle on a. limited access highway except for
peer Rg difficulty or an e
acothes provides. that. where
more than one conviction results from the same. traffic incident, ~poimts shall be charged
