2013 Oregon Driver Manual - Oregon Department of Transportation

The sign must also be on the rear of golf cart type vehicles driven by
persons with a disability. These types of vehicles may travel only on
streets with a top designated speed of 25 miles per hour.
Do not use this sign in any other way except on these vehicles
and machinery.
Funeral Processions
Funeral processions are exempt from certain rules of the road. Vehicles
in a funeral procession may enter an intersection without stopping, may
get free passage through tollgates, and do not have to obey traffi c control
devices. Other vehicles must yield right of way.
An escort vehicle must accompany a funeral procession, and the escort
may exceed the maximum speed limit by 10 miles per hour. Escort and
lead vehicles must have proper lighting.
If you are not a member of the funeral procession, it is against the law
for you to join the funeral procession or drive between vehicles in the
funeral procession.
Tow Vehicles
Drivers of wreckers or tow vehicles who are hooking up to another
vehicle must warn other drivers when they need to block the road. They
do this by putting signs or signals (approved by the Oregon Department
of Transportation) at a reasonable distance in each direction from the
hookup area.
Tow trucks must have a revolving, fl ashing, amber or red light for use
when connecting to and moving a disabled vehicle.
Tow vehicle drivers must remove glass or other material that could
cause a hazard or injury if the material gets on the road while a wrecked
or damaged vehicle is being moved. Check with DMV if you need more
information about equipment for tow vehicles or tow truck permits.
Depending upon what types of vehicles are being towed, some tow
truck operators may have to obtain a commercial driver license. Refer to
the Oregon Commercial Motor Vehicle Manual to fi nd out if this applies
to you.
Over-Length and Over-Width Loads
A red fl ag, at least 12 inches square, must be shown at the end of any
load that extends 4 feet or more beyond the rear of the bed or body of a
vehicle. A red light, visible for 500 feet to the rear and sides, must replace
the red fl ag when limited visibility conditions exist.
