Regulación sobre faros de vehículos en Colorado

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que los faros de los autos deben tener diferentes luces para ver mejor. Por ejemplo, deben tener una luz que ilumine bien lejos y otra que ilumine más cerca sin molestar a otros conductores.

Es como tener una linterna con dos modos: uno que ilumina un camino largo y otro que ilumina justo frente a ti, para que no deslumbres a tus amigos cuando caminas de noche.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está manejando su auto por una carretera oscura. Al llegar a una zona con curvas, usa la luz que ilumina lejos para ver si hay otros autos. Cuando se acerca a un lugar con peatones, cambia a la luz que ilumina más cerca para no deslumbrar a los demás.

C.R.S. 42-4-216 – Multiple-beam road lights (1) Except as provided in this article 4, the head lamps or the auxiliary driving lamp or the auxiliary passing lamp or combination of lamps on motor vehicles, other than motorcycles, autocycles, or low-power scooters, shall be arranged so that the driver may select at will between distributions of light projected to different elevations, and the lamps may, in addition, be arranged so that the selection can be made automatically, subject to the following limitations: (a) There shall be an uppermost distribution of light or composite beam so aimed and of such intensity as to reveal persons and vehicles at a distance of at least three hundred fifty feet ahead for all conditions of loading. (b) There shall be a lowermost distribution of light or composite beam so aimed and of sufficient intensity to reveal persons and vehicles at a distance of at least one hundred feet ahead; and on a straight level road under any condition of loading, none of the high-intensity portion of the beam shall be directed to strike the eyes of an approaching driver. (1.5) Head lamps arranged to provide a single distribution of light not supplemented by auxiliary driving lamps shall be permitted for low-speed electric vehicles in lieu of multiple-beam, road-lighting equipment specified in this section if the single distribution of light complies with paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section.
