highest practical point on the vehicle and provide light
that provides visible light coverage over a 360` range.
The lights light must emit an amber beam of light, be at
least 6 inches in diameter and be equipped with a
blinking attachments or strobe light function and have
sufficient intensity to be visible at 500 feet in normal
daylight. In lieu of the lights specified, a vehicle may
be equipped with at least one auxiliary rotating flashing
light having 4-inch sealed beams and showing amber beams
of light over a 360` range or an amber strobe, or
combination of strobes, that emits at a minimum a beam of
1,000,000 candlepower and provides visible light coverage
over a 360` range. When the left wing of a plow is in
operation and extends over the center of the road, an
auxiliary light must show the extreme end of the left
wing. That light may be attached to the vehicle so that
the beam of light points at the left wing. The light
illuminating the left wing may be controlled by a
separate switch or by the regular lighting system and
must be in operation at all times when the vehicle is
used for plowing snow on public ways.

 
(4) A vehicle equipped and used for plowing snow on
other than public ways may be equipped with an
auxiliary rotary flashing light that must be mounted on
top of the vehicle in such a manner as to emit an amber
beam of light over a 360` angle, or an amber strobe, or
combination of strobes, that emits at a minimum a beam
of 50 candlepower and provides visible light coverage
over a 360` range. The light may be in use on a public
way only when the vehicle is entering the public way in
the course of plowing private driveways and other off-
highway locations.

 
(5) A rural mail vehicle may be equipped with
auxiliary lights.

 
(a) The lights used to the front must be white or
amber, or any shade between white and amber.

 
(b) The lights used to the rear must be amber or
red, or any shade between amber and red.

 
(c) The lights, whether used to the front or
rear, must be mounted at the same level and as
widely spaced laterally as possible.

 
(d) The lights, whether used to the front or
rear, must flash simultaneously.
