Traffic control: traffic regulation; front and rear lights; require for horse-drawn vehicles operating on public roadways, and provide penalties for noncompliance. Amends secs. 684, 695 & 907 of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.684 et seq.) & adds secs. 1e & 688a.

HB 5230 requires drivers of animal-drawn vehicles (like horse-drawn carriages, buggies, or coaches) operating on public roadways to install specific lighting. It mandates at least two white front lights visible 500 feet ahead, two red rear lights visible 500 feet behind, and two amber flashing warning lights on both front and rear. These lights must be mounted 2.5-12 feet high and used during low visibility (rain, fog, poor light), work zones, or when visibility drops below 1,000 feet. Noncompliance results in a $200 civil fine, and the law does not apply to vehicles on state park lands where motor vehicles are prohibited.
