Every hawker, pedlar, keeper of a mobile or travelling shop, or stall, upon being requested so to do by any police officer, traffic officer or duly authorised officer of the board, and as often as so requested, shall alter the position from which he is conducting his business on any State highway to such other part of the State highway indicated by such officer.

10. Every holder of a licence as a hawker or pedlar or keeper of a mobile or travelling shop, or stall, while exercising or carrying on such business, shall have affixed on some conspicuous place on the exterior of every vehicle which he uses for such purposes, a board or plate bearing his name and the words “licensed operator” legibly painted thereon in letters not less than 3 cm in height.
