§47-12-407.
   
   (a) For the purpose of this section the definition of trucks shall not
   include pickup farm trucks or farm trailers attached to a farm truck,
   automobile or tractor, but each farm trailer and farm pickup shall
   carry and be equipped with reflectors, the number, location and size
   of which shall be prescribed and approved by the Commissioner of
   Public Safety.
   
   (b) No person shall operate any truck, passenger bus, school bus, or
   truck tractor upon any highway outside the corporate limits of
   municipalities at any time unless there shall be carried in such
   vehicle the following equipment except as provided in Section 12-101:
   
   1. At least three flares, or three red electric lanterns, each of
   which shall be capable of being seen and distinguished at a distance
   of five hundred (500) feet under normal atmospheric conditions at
   nighttime.
   
   Each flare (liquid-burning pot torch) shall be capable of burning for
   not less than twelve (12) hours in five (5) miles per hour wind
   velocity, and capable of burning in any air velocity from zero (0) to
   forty (40) miles per hour. Every such flare shall be substantially
   constructed so as to withstand reasonable shock breakage.
   
   2. At least three red burning fusees, unless red electric lanterns are
   carried. Every fusee shall be made in accordance with specifications
   of the Bureau of Explosives, New York, and so marked and shall be
   capable of burning at least fifteen minutes.
   
   3. At least three red cloth flags, not less than twelve inches square,
   with standards to support same.
   
   4. In every bus, truck, or truck tractor, transporting persons or
   property for hire, shall be carried at least one spare bulb for each
   kind of electric lamp where such electric lamp is used for any of the
   lighting devices required by this act, except sealed beam headlights.
   
   5. No person shall operate at the time and under the conditions stated
   in the first paragraph of this section any motor vehicle used in the
   transportation of inflammable liquids in bulk or transporting
   compressed inflammable gases, unless there shall be carried in such
   vehicle three red electric lanterns meeting the requirements above
   stated and there shall not be carried in any said vehicle any flares,
   fusees or signal produced by a flame.
   
   In the alternative it shall be deemed a compliance with this section
   in the event the person operating any motor vehicle described in this
   section shall carry in such vehicle three portable reflector units on
   standards of a type approved by the Department. No portable reflector
   unit shall be approved unless it is so designed and constructed that
   it will reflect red light clearly visible for a distance of at least
   five hundred (500) feet under normal atmospheric conditions at
   nighttime when directly in front of lawful upper beams of head lamps.
