If the combination of two vehicles is longer than 20 feet, the overall size of the machinery must be" indicated by showing a green or amber light on each side of the front and a red light on each side of the rear. Approved reflectors may also be used instead of these rear lights. Signs not needed on small trucks Transportation and Communi- cations Minister John R. Rhodes has announced that owners of small trucks are no longer required to have their names printed on the side of their vehicles. The amendment to the Regulations of Ontario made under The Highway Traffic Act became effective July 2, 1974. The amendment exempts all commercial motor vehicles having a gross weight of not more than 18,000 pounds, in addition to motorized mobile home, and trucks fitted with camper units which were exempted under a previous regulation. The new regulation is the result of increased popularity in the use of small commercial motor vehicles as a means of private transportation. ••••••IMMEIMIN•111•1111/ SELL Through Brussels Post Classified Want Ads The market at Brussels Stock- yards Friday was made up of 628 cattle and 559 pigs.

Safety Assoc. lists regulations The operation of large farms and rented land often means that farm equipment must travel at least some distance on provincial roads and highways. "While items of farm equipment are usually not considered to be motor vehicles under the law, they are vehicles, and as such must follow the regulations," says the general manager of the Farm Safety Association, D.E.Brown. The use of slow-moving vehicle signs (SMV's) has been adopted by most Ontario farmers. SMV's must be attached to the rear of every farm tractor or self-propelled implement or any vehicle (such as grain and forage wagons) being hauled by either of these implements. "Statistics show that these signs have helped to reduce the number of serious accidents caused on the road by rear-end collisions," says Mr. Brown. Regulations for maximum size limitations of farm equipment have also been described in the Highway Traffic Act. Single vehicles, such as the flat-bed truck, must be no longer than 35 feet including the load. • A combination of vehicles — tractor and wagon or tractor and plow — should not exceed 65 feet in length. The maximum width for either single or combination vehicles cannot exceed 102 inches. "If your farm equipment cannot be made to comply with the regulations, oversize/ over- weight permits are available from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and communications," says Mr. Brown. These permits are valid for one year from the date of issue at no cost to farmers. Adequate lighting is required for traveling at night or when driving conditions are poor. Tractors equipped with an electrical lighting system must. carry two headlights and one red rear, light. Implements or wagOns 12-1'lifE BRUSSELS POST, ' AUGUST 14, 1974
