Mississippi has no requirement for bicyclists to burn a light on its highways or roadways during daylight hours. As is often the case with legal language, the statute is poorly written. That's not uncommon when lawyers write laws on a topic with which they are not very familiar. You'll note that it appears in the "equipment" section of the law. Use is not prescribed elsewhere in the section.
