When is the use of headlights required according to the CR-3 Traffic Code?

The use of headlights is required during rain, fog, or other adverse weather conditions to ensure visibility and safety. In these situations, visibility can be significantly reduced, and using headlights enhances the ability to see the road and to be seen by other drivers. The headlights provide crucial illumination in low-visibility conditions, which helps to prevent accidents and promotes safer driving. This requirement is part of the guidelines set forth in the CR-3 Traffic Code to protect all road users and ensure they can perceive hazards and navigate safely.

In contrast, using headlights only at night or limiting their use to specific areas, such as urban environments, does not address the safety concerns associated with adverse conditions like poor weather. Similarly, having headlights on during bright daylight, while sometimes encouraged for visibility purposes, is not a requirement per the CR-3 Traffic Code.
