Posted by jasonbellamy on Wed Sep 12 17:17:53 2012, in response to Lanza, Ignizio ask MTA to stop using flashing blue LEDs lights on S79 SBS, posted by Gold_12TH on Tue Sep 11 21:54:57 2012. I thought the whole point of the blue lights was to tell passengers to get a POP receipt before the bus arrived. But the S79 doesn't have off-board fare collection.In New York State, blue lights are courtesy lights for volunteer fire fighters. State law says you only have to yield to vehicles with red flashing lights. Police cars are allowed to have a blue light, but they must also have red lights. I think this law should be changed to be consistent with other states. Blue lights should be required on, and reserved for, emergency vehicles. A blue light really stands out, since nothing else is that color, while there's plenty of red from tail lights and traffic lights. |
