Green Lighting Use

[toon80]

Well well, I knew firetrucks used as command posts used green lights, but I just saw a police car (probably an officer's car) with a green Code 3 550 on it's back.


Could the police use "command vehicles" too?

Yes, police in Canada (as well as ems) also use green to signify a command post.


It gets interesting when there is fire/pd/ems command all at the same scene... there is a battle of green sometimes.. :lol:

Is it something that's been going on for a long time?


Seems to me fairly recent... (at least in Quebec)

I see both green and amber on airport vehicles(non-emergency) in Stafford,Va.

This one has what look like an Aerodynic with a speaker section. One lens segment on both side it look like. Mebbe 1 1/2.

Tennessee traffic laws do make reference to the use of green lights by funeral escort motorcycles. Other funeral home escort vehicles must use amber lights (§ 55-9-402), but you can see a combination of amber and green in actual use.


This is the only reference I could find in the Tennessee law about green lights.


Tennessee Code 55-8-183 Funeral processions.


( B) Motorcycle escorts of properly identified funeral processions may:


(3) Notwithstanding § 55-9-402 or any other law to the contrary, install a green strobe flashing light system of a type approved by the sheriff of the county in which the motorcycle is to be operated; provided, that the system is deactivated at all times the motorcycle is not escorting a properly identified funeral procession.


But we see security vehicles patrolling parking lots using green lights as well.
