Proposal to amend UN R48 in order to enable type-approval of direction indicators with variable apparent surfaces. The amendment would prohibit the use of sequential illumination when the direction indicator is used as a hazard warning indicator.

Proposal to reduce the minimum speed for activation of E-class passing beams from 70 km/h to 60 km/h and to prescribe clear alternatives to either detect motorway conditions with sensors or only activate the E mode above a speed of 110km/h. Moreover, the proposal extends the provisions to all vehicles. In addition, the proposal introduces “interdependent lamps”, taking into account the function of direction indicators as hazard warning signals.
