What changed in the latest version
23 added · 23 removedPlain-language change summary
The amended version of HB 67 clarifies the requirements for flagging loads that extend beyond the back of a vehicle. It now specifies that for larger loads, two warning flags are needed at the rear, while smaller loads require just one flag. This change aims to enhance visibility and safety on the roads, ensuring that all drivers can see when a vehicle is carrying an oversized load, especially at night.
