SIDE MARKER LAMPS.
(A) REFLECTORS REQUIRED BY §22-208 OF THIS
SUBTITLE SHALL BE MOUNTED AT A HEIGHT OF NOT MORE THAN 60
INCHES NOR LESS THAN 15 INCHES ABOVE THE GROUND ON WHICH
THE VEHICLE STANDS. HOWEVER, IF THE HIGHEST PART OF THE
PERMANENT STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 15
INCHES, THE REFLECTOR AT THAT POINT SHALL BE MOUNTED AS
HIGH AS THAT PART OF THE PERMANENT STRUCTURE WILL PERMIT.
(B) THE REAR REFLECTORS ON A POLE TRAILER MAY BE
MOUNTED ON EACH SIDE OF THE BOLSTER OR LOAD.
(C) ANY REQUIRED RED REFLECTOR ON THE REAR OF A
VEHICLE MAY BE INCORPORATED WITH THE TAIL LAMP, BUT THE
REFLECTOR SHALL MEET ALL THE OTHER REFLECTOR REQUIREMENTS
OF THIS TITLE.
(D) CLEARANCE LAMPS SHALL BE MOUNTED SO AS TO
INDICATE THE EXTREME WIDTH OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE, NOT
INCLUDING MIRRORS, AND AS NEAR THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE AS
PRACTICABLE. WHEN REAR IDENTIFICATION LAMPS ARE MOUNTED
AT THE EXTREME HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, REAR CLEARANCE
LAMPS MAY BE MOUNTED AT AN OPTIONAL HEIGHT. WHEN
MOUNTING OF FRONT CLEARANCE LAMPS AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF
A TRAILER RESULTS IN THOSE LAMPS FAILING TO MARK THE
EXTREME WIDTH OF THE TRAILER, THEY MAY BE MOUNTED AT AN
OPTIONAL HEIGHT, BUT MUST INDICATE THE EXTREME WIDTH OF
THE TRAILER. CLEARANCE LAMPS ON TRUCK TRACTORS SHALL BE
SO LOCATED AS TO INDICATE THE EXTREME WIDTH OF THE TRUCK
TRACTOR CAB.
(E) CLEARANCE LAMPS AND SIDE MARKER LAMPS MAY BE
MOUNTED IN COMBINATION IF ILLUMINATION IS GIVEN AS
REQUIRED IN THIS SUBTITLE WITH REFERENCE TO BOTH.
HOWEVER, NO CLEARANCE LAMP MAY BE COMBINED WITH ANY TAIL
LAMP OR IDENTIFICATION LAMP.
