A 3912 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the use of hazard lights when traveling at certain speeds

This bill requires drivers of vehicles equipped with hazard lights to activate them when traveling at or below 15 mph under the posted speed limit. It directly affects drivers operating such vehicles on public highways, with exceptions for legally stopped or disabled vehicles. The law specifies that hazard lights must be used to warn others of slow-moving traffic or potential hazards, but prohibits their use for any other purpose. The requirement applies only to vehicles with the necessary flashing signal equipment, as defined in the vehicle and traffic law. The bill takes effect 180 days after enactment.
