When Green Means Slow

We’ve heard for years that red means stop and green means go. But this winter, you’ll see when green means slow. MDOT has added green strobe lights to its winter maintenance vehicles to make them more visible in wintry conditions, increasing safety.

If you confuse a plow truck with a traffic light, you should start riding the bus.

I'm glad they've figured out that no one can see White lights in a snow storm!!

I like the green lights on the plows, however I wish they didn't strobe as much as they do. I prefer the example on the Ohio truck in the video, clean and crisp color changes. Too much flickering makes it harder to see anything else around the plow.

MI has never authorized white lights on plows. You cannot just change the lens on an LED light, that is a total fallacy. If you place a green lens over an amber LED you will render the light useless, additionally; most grommet or surface mount lights do not have removable lenses. Most manufacturers impose an upcharge for green warning lights as well. Shouldn't be any confusion as long as you keep your trucks away from an emergency incident since green is the universal color for an incident command post.

Was going to say the same thing and the Nforce lights they showed in the video are way more than $100.
