Proposal to remove restrictions that impede the use of bend lighting on motorcycles. UN R53 currently prohibits the use of additional lighting units when the driving beam is in use. This requirement unnecessarily restricts the use of ALU to improve road illumination at night when the motorcycle is banking through a turn.

Motorcycle daytime running lamps (DRL) can cause glare under nightime conditions (i.e., if left activated after sunset). Therefore, this proposal would require automatic switching from DRL to normal headlamp lighting as conditions warrant.

Proposal to require automatic switching of motorcycle daytime running lamps to headlamp illumination at night. The concern is that DRL are left on, causing glare. This proposal aligns with the provisions of UN R48.

Presentation in support of Japan’s proposal to require automatic switching between daytime running lamps and headlamps as a measure to prevent safety risks from DRL glare during night driving.

Proposal to allow for the approval on motorcycles of light-signalling devices with light sources that can be sequentially activated and of emergency stop signals.

Proposal to delete references to UN R113 Class B headlamps from the regulation.
