A batch of new traffic laws becomes effective September 19 1947 per Edgar E Lampton State Director of Motor Vehicles. Recruits at the Patrol school and Highway Patrolmen will be briefed. The changes include allowing right turns on red and requiring slow moving vehicles to stay close to the right edge of the roadway.
The plan includes a right turn on red after a complete stop when clear and not posted, new licensing rules for drunk driving suspensions, and quicker record forwarding to the DMV. It also tightens passing on the right and exempts divided highways from stopping for school buses discharging passengers.
