(8.) No lamp of a motor-vehicle shall be deemed to be efficient
for the purposes of these by-laws unless (in addition to the requirements
of the last preceding clause of these by-laws) it is sufficiently clear and
strong to afford adequate means of signalling the approach or position
of such motor-vehicle.

(9.) No person shall operate any vehicle displaying a light of
such dazzling brilliancy that it will affect the vision of persons
approaching from the opposite direction.

7. Brakes on Vehicles.

(1.) No person shall operate any motor-vehicle other than a
traction-engine or motor-bicycle unless such motor-vehicle is fitted
with two independent brakes in good working-order and of such
efficiency that the application of either can cause two of the wheels
on the same axle to stop revolving when applied on any grade, however
steep.

(2.) No person shall operate any motor-bicycle unless such motor-
bicycle is fitted with a brake working on the back wheel in good
working-order and of such efficiency that its application can cause
the back wheel to stop revolving.

(3.) No person shall operate any bicycle on the said road unless
such bicycle is fitted with two independent brakes in good working-
order and of such efficiency that the application of either can cause
the wheel to which it is applied to stop revolving.

8. Other Equipment of Motor-vehicles.

(1.) No person shall operate any motor-vehicle other than a
traction-engine unless such motor-vehicle has affixed thereto a horn
or some other warning-instrument of reasonable efficiency by which
the approach of the motor-vehicle may be signalled.

(2.) No person shall operate any motor-vehicle, other than a
traction-engine, unless such motor-vehicle is fitted with an efficient
muffler or silencer; and no person shall permit such muffler or silencer
to be disconnected from the exhaust, opened or removed, while such
motor-vehicle is being operated on the said road.

9. Speed of Horses and Vehicles.

(1.) No person shall while crossing any bridge on horseback cause
such horse to go out of a walk.

(2.) No person when driving any wagon, cart, coach, carriage,
or other vehicle of any description, whether loaded or unloaded,
across any bridge shall cause the horse or horses drawing such wagon,
cart, coach, carriage, or other vehicle as aforesaid to go out of a walk.

(3.) No person shall operate any motor-lorry at a greater speed
than sixteen miles per hour, or on a bridge at a greater speed than
four miles per hour, except where such speeds are varied by notices
erected under the authority of the Engineer on any portion of the
said road or any bridge thereon, in which case the speed of any motor-
lorry shall not be greater than that specified in the said notices.

(4.) No person shall operate any traction-engine at a greater
speed than eight miles an hour, or on a bridge at a greater speed than
two miles an hour, except where such speeds are varied by notices
erected under the authority of the Engineer on any portion of the
said road or any bridge thereon, in which case the speed of any traction-
engine shall not be greater than that specified in the said notices.

(5.) No person shall operate any motor-vehicle, other than a
traction-engine or motor-lorry, at a greater speed than twenty-five
miles an hour, or on a bridge at a greater speed than ten miles an
hour.

(6.) When a motor-vehicle, other than a traction-engine, is being
driven or propelled along the said road, if, owing to a bend, corner,
crossing, or junction in the said road, or for any similar cause, it
becomes impossible for the driver or person in charge of such motor-
vehicle to have an uninterrupted view of the traffic on the said road
for at least 50 yards ahead, such driver or person in charge shall
reduce his speed to eight miles an hour; and around sharp bends,
when actually meeting any person with stock shall reduce his speed
to six miles an hour; and, by sounding the warning-instrument,
give audible and sufficient warning of the approach of such motor-
vehicle in both cases.
