A motor vehicle escort guide shall not engage in any escort service other than that of escorting a funeral procession, consisting of the hearse and cortege, from the place of service to the place of interment. A motor vehicle escort guide may escort overheight, overlength or overwidth vehicles or loads as defined in the state traffic code, but only after application for each individual escort has been made to the chief of police, who shall have the authority to approve or disapprove the escort and if approval is granted such approval shall designate the route and time to be upon such route.
(1964 Code, § 34-78)
