What times does Wisconsin law require you to turn on your headlights?

Wisconsin law requires drivers to turn on their headlights from dusk until dawn. This regulation is crucial for ensuring visibility and safety on the road during nighttime driving when natural light is not sufficient. Headlights provide necessary illumination for the driver to see the road ahead and for other vehicles and pedestrians to see the vehicle it is operating.

While some drivers may believe that headlights are only necessary in heavy traffic or in urban areas, the law mandates their use during nighttime hours for all drivers, irrespective of the driving conditions. This blanket requirement helps improve overall road safety during periods of low visibility.
