Preparing for the Procession

While most cities have ordinances making it illegal to enter or leave a procession, cars in a procession do not have any legal right of way. Certified Escorts provide necessary traffic control and are authorized to stop traffic from entering or leaving a procession, as well as maintain traffic flow by use of controlled intersections.

We know city and state ordinances and are there to enforce them. For the safety of the coach driver, procession members and escorts the following rules apply:

• All vehicles in the procession must bear a sticker that indicates they are participants!

• Headlights and flashers should be on for the entire procession!

• Vehicles must not leave the procession for any reason and should advise the escort if an emergency occurs!

• Procession vehicles should space themselves as close together as safely possible to prevent non-participating vehicles from entering or crossing
