What is the allowable height range for stop lamps?

The allowable height range for stop lamps is 15 inches to 72 inches. This range ensures that stop lamps are at a visible height for drivers in various vehicle types, including trucks and SUVs, which might have different mounting heights compared to standard cars. By establishing this range, regulations help to maintain safety and visibility on the roads, ensuring that all vehicles are equipped with stop lamps that can be easily seen by others.

The extensive height range, from a minimum of 15 inches up to a maximum of 72 inches, accommodates various vehicle designs and configurations, effectively addressing the need for consistent visibility without compromising functionality or safety for any vehicle type.
