Emergency clause provided: It is hereby ascertained and determined by the General Assembly that the proper regulation of traffic on the highways is a necessary function of the State Government, and that the loss of life and property under the present laws creates an emergency.

Therefore, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this Act being immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval.
