to a definition section.
(E) "HERD" MEANS FIVE OR MOPE LIVESTOCK.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as Art. 66C, §469 of the Code. The only
changes made are in style.

SEC. 3-502. ATTENDANTS.

(A) PERMITTING UNATTENDED HERDS ON IMPROVED
HIGHWAYS UNLAWFUL.

NO PERSON MAY PERMIT A HERD OF LIVESTOCK UPON ANY
IMPROVED HIGHWAY OF THE STATE UNLESS THE HERD IS

AT LEAST ONE ATTENDANT SHALL PRECEDE THE HERD AT
A DISTANCE OF NOT MORE THAN 100 YARDS, AND THERE SHALL
BE A DRIVER NOT MORE THAN 100 YARDS IN THE REAP OF THE
HERD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §467 of the Code. The last
clause is proposed for deletion because it
appears as new language in §3-503 and
§3—504. The present reference to "cattle,
swine, sheep" is proposed for deletion
because these animals are included within
the definition of "livestock". See
§1-101 (e). The only other changes made are
in style.

SEC. 3-503. LIGHTS.

THE FRONT AND REAR ATTENDANTS SHALL CARRY A RED

derived from the last clause of Art. 66C,
§467 of the Code.
