Flashing or Revolving Lights on Emergency and Authorized Vehicles
[37 Pa.B. 3242]
The Department of Transportation (Department), under 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 4571, 4572 and 6103 (relating to visual and audible signals on emergency vehicles; visual signals on authorized vehicles; and promulgation of rules and regulations by department), amends Chapter 173 to read as set forth in Annex A.
This final-form rulemaking provides the limitations and requirements for flashing and revolving lighting on emergency and authorized vehicles. The purpose of Chapter 173 is to set forth the nature, display, color, standards and configuration for flashing, revolving and oscillating lights that may be displayed on emergency and authorized vehicles.
The purpose of this final-form rulemaking is to provide greater flexibility and lighting options to ensure that emergency and authorized vehicles have adequate flashing or revolving lights. The final-form rulemaking allows the use of flashing and revolving lights which were not envisioned or available at the time the regulations were originally adopted. The final-form rulemaking also clarifies the flashing or revolving lighting options and requirements for an unmarked police car.
The final-form rulemaking reflects the joint effort of the State Police and the Department. The State Police also solicited advice and recommendations from local police departments and other law enforcement officials throughout this Commonwealth as well as members of the emergency lighting industry.
§ 173.2. Definitions.
Comment: The Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) found the definition of ''intersection light'' unnecessary and too broad.
Response: The Department considered IRRC's comments and amended the definition for clarity. The Department believes the definition remains necessary as the term continues to be used in the regulations to refer to lights mounted on the fenders of emergency vehicles which enhance the visibility of emergency vehicles as they pass through an intersection.
Comment: IRRC expressed confusion about the use of the terms ''flashing light'' and ''oscillation.''
Response: The Department deleted the definition of ''oscillation,'' added a definition of ''oscillating light'' and removed ''oscillation'' from the definition of ''flashing light.''
§ 173.3(a). Display requirements.
Subsection (a)--color
Comment: A retired police officer, Michael DalPezzo, noted that there is no authorization for green lights designating command vehicles. He also opined that it is impossible to ''exceed'' standards for chromaticity coordinates.
Response: There is no need for a particular vehicle to display green lights. Although flashing green lights are used to designate command areas, they are not specific to particular command vehicles. Under the Incident Command System, multiple agency response could potentially bring multiple vehicles equipped with green lights to an incident scene, causing confusion among responders as to where a command center was located. Further, a portable green light could be maintained in a vehicle and used as necessary at the scene of an emergency.
With respect to the observation that it is impossible to exceed standards for chromaticity coordinates, it is important to note that the CIE 1931 standard was devised in 1931 using wavelengths of light that were perceived as specific colors by persons with normal visual acuity. The standard has been revised twice. Consequently, this language is intended to take into consideration any future revisions to the CIE 1931 standard.
Subsection (a)(3)--blue lights
Comment: The City of Philadelphia Fire Department opined that personnel of for-profit ambulance services should not be authorized to use emergency lighting. IRRC questioned whether personnel from those services are eligible to use blue lights and asked who is the ''chief'' of a private company. IRRC and the Pennsylvania Emergency Health Services Council (PEHSC) asked whether ''quick responder services'' personnel can use blue lights and asked the Department to clarify the types of organizations that allow blue lights on personal vehicles.
Response: The personnel of ambulance services are entitled to use blue lights on their personal vehicles in accordance with 75 Pa.C.S. § 4572. Under section 12 of the Emergency Medical Services Act (35 P. S. § 6932), ambulances in this Commonwealth must be licensed by the Department of Health whether they are for profit or not. The license requirements in 28 Pa. Code Chapter 1005 (relating to licensing of BLS and ALS ground ambulance services) require emergency lighting on all basic life support ambulances in conformance with 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 4571 and 4572. Therefore, the status of the agency as ''for profit,'' volunteer or municipally employed is moot. In addition, quick responder vehicles are covered by the definition of ''ambulance'' in 75 Pa.C.S. § 102 (relating to definitions) and should display red lights or a combination of red and white lights.
Subsection (a)(4)--combination red and blue lights
Comment: The Chiefs of Police Association commented that only police officers should be allowed to use a combination of red and blue lights.
Response: The authority for using combination red and blue lights is granted in 75 Pa.C.S. § 4571(b)(1) and extends to police, sheriff, coroner, medical examiner and fire police vehicles. The regulation cannot establish a narrower scope contrary to 75 Pa.C.S. § 4571(b)(1).
Subsection (a)(5)(iii)--yellow or amber lights
Comment: IRRC commented that § 173.3(a)(5)(iii) should be simplified to state that these lights ''shall be mounted to only flash or shine rearward.'' Mr. DalPezzo recommended allowing fire police officers to use traffic control emergency light assemblies.
Response: The Department considered and rejected Mr. DalPezzo's suggestion. Under 75 Pa.C.S. § 4571(b.1)(2), the use of traffic-control emergency directional light assemblies is limited to emergency vehicles. Privately-owned vehicles of fire police officers are not emergency vehicles and are regulated by 75 Pa.C.S. § 4572. Therefore, those vehicles are not entitled to use traffic-control emergency directional light assemblies. However, fire police vehicles that are owned by a fire company are entitled to use combination red and blue lights as well as traffic-control emergency directional light assemblies. In response to IRRC's comments, the Department amended the language of subsection (a)(5)(iii).
Subsection (a)(6)--white or clear lights
Comment: The PEHSC asked about the rationale for increasing the number of white or flashing lights. The City of Philadelphia Fire Department and IRRC asked the Department to clarify whether a vehicle can have a total of four white or clear lights by combining a single light with a light-bar assembly. IRRC expressed three additional concerns about this section. First, the Department should clarify the need for and intent of the subsection and whether a light created from reflection by mirrors is counted as a separate and unique light. Second, subparagraphs (i) and (ii) may conflict with existing systems and procedures. Third, the phrase ''preemptive traffic control devices'' is not defined. Finally, Mr. DalPezzo opined that the restrictions in this section are unworkable and unenforceable.
Response: The Department considered the comments received concerning this section and made revisions to clarify the section. The three white lights can only be used as part of a light bar assembly. In some light bar configurations, two white lights are used as intersection lights mounted on the outboard sides of the light bar. An optional third white light was added to allow for a forward-facing center-mounted light for the purpose of signaling traffic directly in front of an emergency vehicle. The Department has not included a definition of ''preemptive traffic control device'' insofar as the term seems self explanatory to mean a device which allows operators of emergency vehicles to preempt the operation of a traffic signal in accordance with 75 Pa.C.S. § 3105(g) (relating to drivers of emergency vehicles).
Subsection (a)(8)--utility lights
Comment: IRRC and Mr. DalPezzo found this section unclear and confusing.
Response: The Department revised the language of this subsection for clarification.
Subsection (b)--360° visibility
Comment: IRRC recommended reformatting this section for clarity.
Response: The Department accepted IRRC's suggestion and reformatted this subsection.
Comment: The PEHSC recommended that front bumper-mounted lights should only be red.
Response: The Department considered and rejected the PEHSC's suggestion to give emergency vehicles, other than ambulances, the option of using lights of other colors. Under 28 Pa. Code § 1005.10(b)(1) (relating to licensure and general operating standards), emergency lights on ambulances must conform to Federal standard KKK-A-1822E, which requires that front bumper-mounted lighting be red. Therefore, ambulances will not be affected by this change.
Subsection (c)--visibility of unmarked police vehicles
The Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors submitted a comment outside the public comment period regarding the provisions of this section. The comment misinterprets the section to limit the placement of lights on unmarked vehicles to those described in the section. The section does not prohibit the addition of other lights on unmarked vehicles as township or law enforcement official may see fit.
Subsection (d)--mounting location
Comment: Mr. DalPezzo suggested adding subsection (d)(5) to address the mounting of blue lights on authorized vehicles. IRRC noted that subsection (d)(1)(v)(A) refers to ''private vehicles'' and ''emergency calls'' as defined by 75 Pa.C.S. § 102, but those are not separately-defined terms in 75 Pa.C.S. § 102. Mr. DalPezzo also found this section confusing. IRRC asked the Department to reformat subsection (d)(3)(i)(E)(i)--(iv) to conform to Pennsylvania Code and Bulletin Style Manual. With respect to subsection (d)(3)(ii), the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association said that law enforcement should be able to put strobe packs inside corner parking lamps, break lamps or inside back-up lamps and the proposed rulemaking should permit the use of flash back-up white lamps in conjunction with flashing red tail lamps. Finally, IRRC was unclear as to the intent of the restrictions in subsection (d)(4).
Response: In consideration of these comments, subsection (d) was reformatted and amended for clarification. The Department considered and rejected Mr. DalPezzo's suggestion of adding subsection (d)(5) to address mounting of blue lights. The mounting of lights is already addressed in subsection (e)(3), which applies to authorized vehicles regardless of the color of the light. With respect to the concern expressed by the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, police vehicles are entitled to use strobe packs at the listed locations on a vehicle in accordance with subsection (d)(2)(vii).
The regulations are amended under the authority in 75 Pa.C.S. §§ 4571, 4572 and 6103.
The final-form rulemaking affects owners of emergency and authorized vehicles who are qualified to display flashing or revolving lights.
Implementation of the final-form rulemaking will not require the expenditure of additional funds by the Commonwealth or local municipalities. The final-form rulemaking will not impose additional costs on the regulated community and may reduce costs by providing more lighting options for emergency and authorized vehicles.
Under section 5(a) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5(a)), on December 6, 2005, the Department submitted a copy of the notice of proposed rulemaking, published at 35 Pa.B. 6769 (December 17, 2005), to IRRC and the Chairpersons of the House and Senate Transportation Committees for review and comment.
Under section 5.1(j.2) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5a(j.2)), on June 6, 2007, the final-form rulemaking was deemed approved by the House and Senate Committees. Under section 5.1(e) of the Regulatory Review Act, IRRC met on June 7, 2007, and approved the final-form rulemaking.
This final-form rulemaking is effective upon publication following appropriate evaluation of comments, suggestions or objections received during the period allowed for public comment. The Department is not establishing a sunset date for these regulations, since these regulations are needed to administer provisions required under 75 Pa.C.S. (relating to Vehicle Code). The Department, however, will continue to closely monitor the regulations for their effectiveness.
