Vehicle lighting requirements would change for drivers who use hitch-mounted cargo carriers, bicycle racks, cargo trays, or cargo baskets. If passed, this measure would prohibit operating a vehicle on Utah roads if such an attachment blocks the tail lights from being visible at least 500 feet behind the vehicle, unless the driver installs qualifying auxiliary lights or reflectors directly on the carrier. Any auxiliary lights would need to be red, wired to turn on along with the vehicle's regular tail and brake lights, and meet Department of Public Safety standards, while reflectors would similarly need to be red, visible from 500 feet when lit by headlights, and meet those same standards. Violations would be treated as infractions, carrying fines up to $100 for a first offense and up to $200 for repeat violations within three years.
