A.
As
used in this section, "funeral processions" mean four or more motor
vehicles accompanying a body of a deceased person in the daytime,
when each of such vehicles has its headlights lighted. Pedestrians
and the operators of all vehicles, except emergency vehicles, shall
yield the right-of-way to each vehicle which is a part of a funeral
procession. Whenever the lead vehicle in a funeral procession lawfully
enters an intersection, the remainder of the vehicles in such a procession
may continue to follow such lead vehicle through the intersection
notwithstanding any traffic control device or right-of-way provisions
prescribed by statute or ordinance, provided the operator of each
vehicle exercises due care to avoid colliding with any other vehicle
or pedestrian upon the streets or highway.
B.
No
person shall operate any vehicle as a part of a funeral procession
without having the headlights of such vehicle lighted.
C.
No
operator of a vehicle shall drive between vehicles in a funeral procession
which are properly identified while the procession is in motion except
when directed to do so by a Police Officer.
D.
A funeral
procession shall proceed to the place of interment by the most direct
route which is both legal and practicable.
E.
No
person shall unreasonably interfere with a funeral procession.
