I understood where you were going with that.  I dont know how it works in the
USA but here provincial law is key.  I would assume that State law is the same?

JD>> Construction and tow vehicles here have yellow flashing lights,
JD>> including road maintenance crews.

ML> yup... yellow and white on a lot of newer stuff...

I've seen some white on Ambulances, but not on top.  Mostly strobes on the back
and sides.  From recent news video, I see the police also have similar.


JD>> Police have both blue and red, while Ambulance and Fire Trucks have
JD>> simply red

ML> that's why i have to go with green, and/or yellow with white... the main
ML> thing is to be seen when on the side of the road or on a busy construction
ML> site with big loaders, haulers and diggers running around...

Blue is used here by snow removal crews, and yes, being visible is good <G>
