Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Chapter generally admissible in civil cases. - As Ga. L. 1974, p. 633 (see now O.C.G.A. Art. 14, Ch. 6, T. 40) did not prevent local authorities with respect to streets and highways under their jurisdiction and within the reasonable exercise of the police power from regulating or prohibiting stopping, standing, or parking in the course of which local authorities may by reference adopt any or all provisions of former Code 1933, Ch. 68A, and as a

violation which was both a violation of the state traffic regulations and the city ordinance may be tried in either jurisdiction, there seems no reason why that former chapter should not be generally admissible in civil cases with the burden on the party contending it inapplicable to prove any change effectuated by local authorities.
