§ 1361. Lights on vehicles other than motor vehicles
Every vehicle on wheels or runners, whether stationary or in motion on a public highway,
shall have attached to it a light that shall be so displayed as to be clearly visible
from the front and rear during the period from 30 minutes after sunset to 30 minutes
before sunrise. However, this section shall not apply to a vehicle that is designed
to be propelled by hand. During the same period, towed or trailing vehicles, farm
machinery, or other equipment, whether stationary or in motion on a public highway,
shall have attached to them a red light or reflector that shall be so displayed as
to be clearly visible from the rear, under normal atmospheric conditions, or a reflectorized
slow moving vehicle symbol of a standard type approved by the Commissioner. Nothing
contained in this section shall be construed to affect any statute, rule, or regulation
requiring lights on motor vehicles and the obligation of the owner or operator thereof.
The driver of a vehicle shall be deemed the responsible party, liable to the penalty
for violation hereof. (Amended 1966, No. 38 (Sp. Sess.), § 4; 1971, No. 228 (Adj. Sess.), § 22.)
