Rules for driving in or near funeral processions

(a) No person shall drive a vehicle between the vehicles comprising a funeral or other authorized procession while they are in motion and when such vehicles are conspicuously designated as by law required. This provision shall apply at intersections where traffic is controlled by traffic control signals or by police officers. When the lead car of any funeral or other procession has entered any intersection, notwithstanding the light conditions at those intersections controlled by signal devices, then all other traffic shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles comprising such funeral or other procession until it has passed through the intersection. The foregoing provisions of this section shall apply only to such funeral or other processions moving under police escort. (b) No funeral procession shall be permitted during the hours of 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. (c) A funeral procession composed of any number of vehicles shall be identified as such by the conspicuous display on the top center of each vehicle of a device not less than 8 inches long and 4 inches high, predominantly black or violet in color with the word “Funeral” imprinted on each side thereof in letters no less than 1.25 inches in height, and the display on the top center of both the lead vehicle and the end vehicle of a flashing amber light having a minimum diameter of 6 inches. Such devices and the lights shall be fastened to the vehicles by means of magnets or suction cups. While in the procession, each driver shall turn on the head lamps of the driver’s vehicle as further identification. )
