What is a emergency flasher?
Emergency flashers or hazard lights are activated when a driver pushes the hazard light button/switch. The lights warn other drivers of an emergency situation you may be in or that your car is parked on the side of the road.
How do emergency flashers work?
The flasher is the part that makes the lights flash on and off. The signal lights flash continuously until turned off. The hazard lights will continue to flash until the hazard switch is turned off or there is no longer power flowing, meaning the battery dies.
How do lights turn green for emergency vehicles?
The controllers automatically switch traffic lights to green from red when they detect an approaching firetruck or ambulance to give them a clear path through an intersection. As a result, they usually come to a complete stop at a red light, which is also dangerous, as they need to get to fires fast.
How fast can you drive with emergency lights on?
Hazard light laws differ across the U.S. In some states, it’s acceptable to use your hazard lights while driving. In others, it’s only okay to turn on your hazard lights while driving if “the vehicle speed is 25 mph or less,” like in Colorado, or “to indicate a traffic hazard,” like in California.
When should u use hazard warning lights?
