Motor Head Light Law
BRIEF LOCAL NEWS
/ .September 1, 1926, chapter 323 ef
the lawa of 1925, regulating the
adjustment of motor vehicle lights
in Oregon, goes into effect, and in-
aamuch aa the law assumes that all
motor vehicles within the state will
have been provided with approved
lighting equipment, properly adjust
ed according to legal standard, en
forcement of the provisions of the
law will begin upon that date by
the traffic division of the department
of secretary of state.
No lighting station can legally ad
just lights until it has on display, in
a conspicuous place, a certificate of
authorization issued by the secretary
of state and no mechanic can legally
adjust lights until he has been exam
ined and licensed so to do, and his
certificate of authorization must also
be made available upon demand.
The old magneto type of headlight
will not meet the requirementa of
the law and all cars operating under
this type of illumination must be Ye-
cquipped with electric or acetylene
systems before they can operate on
the public highways on and after
September 1st. The change can be
made at nominal cost.
Adjustment receipts cannot be is
sued by the adjuster for any device
*hich has not been tested by the
United States bureau of standards
and approved by secretary of state.
To date 17 different head lamps,
reflectors and control devices have
passed the test and been approved.
Thia list is furnished each authorized
>ight adjusting station and must be
posted conspicuously upon a bulletin
board provided for that purpose. As
tests are completed additions will be
made to the authorized lists.
A maximum charge of 75 cents is
allowed by law for light adjusting
aervice, exclusive of equipment to
conform to legal requirements.
Road Signs to Become
Standard in the U
I
Here is something for the touring
motorist:
Watch for the yellow signs which
soon will make their appearance on
all national highways and interstate
roads under an agreement announced
by the department of public roads.
Yellow means “caution.” It may
tell the autoist to “stop” to “slow,”
or that there is a school- house, a dan
gerous curve, |ooae gravel, a rail
way crossing or hills ahead. Anyway
one looks at it it will mean “be care
ful.”
Standard s-gn« to mark all high
way* have been decided upon as
follows:
Railroad crossings, a circular sign.
24 inches in diameter, yellow back
ground with the familiar railroad
cross in black, with the letters ”R
R.” in black in the upper quadrants.
Stop sign, an octagon, with the
word “stop” in black letters upon a
yellow background.
are Caution sign, diamond shaped,
with yellow background upon which
are superimposed the warning words
whatever they are to be.
A square yellow sign will call at
tention tn the need for a lesser de
gree of caution.
Luminous signs will be red for dan
ger or stop, yellow for caution and
green for “go.”
The standard route marker will b<
a United States shield painted-on
white, on which will appear, in black,
the name of the state, the initial*
“U. S.” and the number of the route.
