Odd companion to red light

[SignBridge]

As someone pointed out above, strobes are prohibited in traffic signals by the MUTCD (Section 4D.06.03). However that hasn't stopped New York DOT and Long Island's Nassau County DPW from using them in some places where they are appropriate. I kind of like them myself. Some years ago, we tried to get permission from Nassau County to add them to the pre-emption signals in front of our fire station and the County refused, saying we didn't need them....
