Every motor vehicle except a motor-drawn vehicle when operated upon a highway shall

be equipped with a horn in good working order and capable of emitting sound audible

under normal conditions from a distance of not less than 200 feet, but no horn or

other warning device shall emit an unreasonably loud or harsh sound or a whistle. The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when reasonably necessary to insure safe operation,

a highway. No vehicle shall be equipped with nor shall any person use upon a vehicle any siren,

warning signal. Any emergency vehicle authorized by the commission may be equipped with a siren, whistle, or bell capable of emitting sound audible

under normal conditions from a distance of not less than 500 feet and of a type approved

by the commission , but such siren, whistle or bell shall not be used except when such vehicle is operated

in response to an emergency call or in the immediate pursuit of an actual or suspected

violator of the law, in which said latter events the driver of such vehicle shall

sound said siren, whistle or bell when necessary to warn pedestrians and other drivers

of the approach thereof. No person shall install or use on the exhaust system of any motor vehicle any device

which emits an audible sound unless authorized to do so by the commission . No bicycle shall be equipped with nor shall any person use upon a bicycle any siren

or whistle. The commission is hereby authorized in its discretion to promulgate standards concerning the audibility of audible warning devices.
