Title Supreme Court: Early Warning Device Compliance and Regulation

Law: Lto Memorandum

Decision Date: Oct 16, 1995

The LTO Memorandum mandates the use of Early Warning Devices (EWD) for vehicles, requiring compliance for registration and imposing fines for non-adherence, in alignment with international road safety standards.

A

Technical Specifications and Procurement

Compliance with technical standards for EWDs must align with the specifications prescribed under the relevant law.
End users are responsible for sourcing EWDs independently; there is no requirement or mechanism for accreditation or certification of suppliers.

Mandatory Presentation Upon Registration

Presentation of the EWD is a precondition for vehicle registration, whether for new registrations or renewal of existing registrations.
Vehicles that fail to present an EWD during registration will not be granted registration.

Installation Requirements for Disabled Vehicles

When a vehicle becomes stalled, disabled, or is parked on any street or highway for thirty minutes or more, the owner or user must install the EWD.
The device shall be placed four meters to the front of the vehicle showing a yellow signal, and four meters to the rear showing a red signal.
Non-compliance will lead to apprehension of the driver and the imposition of fines following adjudication.

Prohibition on Solicitation and Sale by Employees

Employees are strictly prohibited from selling or soliciting the sale of EWDs to the public.
This aims to prevent conflicts of interest and abuse of authority within implementing agencies.

Enforcement and Penalties

Enforcement measures include apprehension and fines against drivers who fail to comply with EWD installation requirements.
The adjudication process will determine the appropriate fines based on the violation.

Reference to Technical Specifications

Detailed technical specifications for the Early Warning Device are provided in an appendix (Appendix 3, NAR Vol. 6 No. 4, p. 837) which outlines the standards to be followed.
