Firefighters' Personally Owned Vehicles are considered as emergency vehicles under Manitoba Law, and may break normal traffic and road rules, and disregard traffic and road signs, like speed limits, red traffic lights, etc. Traffic must pull over for a personally owned volunteer fire vehicle with red lights flashing. The flashing blue lights may only be used when stopped. In 2018, NSW Police unsuccessfully Trialled using only blue lights on some highway patrol vehicles, with subsequent vehicles utilising the standard red/blue configuration. Alberta also allows red lights on certain classes of utility vehicles, such as natural gas utilities which may need to disconnect a gas line in an emergency. Red and Green: The current combination used by Carabineros on their newer patrol vehicles. Amber: construction and utility; funeral homes; semi-trucks amber marker lights and semi-trucks with big and long trailers; airport service vehicles (excludes emergency vehicles); private snow removal vehicles (Ontario); Canadian Automobile Association Emergency Assistance vehicles; snow removal (Nova Scotia).
Blue is used, along with red, for Police/Peace officers, as well as for snow removal vehicles in Ontario (with Amber for Municipal snow removal and amber and blue for Saskatchewan, Alberta). Red: Fire Department, Volunteer FD responders in certain Provinces (Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan); other non-police law enforcement in the provinces of ON and QC and search and rescue vehicles in BC. Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island. Ontario and Newfoundland use blue lights for snowplows, while Alberta uses amber and red for snowplows, and has a public awareness campaign advising motorists that “flashing amber and red means snowplow ahead”. Fire-fighting equipment imported from European fire brigades (mainly Germany) also uses blue lighting. By 1999, finding a new mass-market car without an airbag at least as optional equipment was difficult, and some late 1990s products, such as the Volkswagen Golf Mk4, also featured side airbags.
Before MEMS, the primary system used to deploy airbags was called a "rolamite". There are ongoing efforts to find alternative compounds so that airbags have less toxic reactants. There is a small pressure drop and should not be noticeable. Since most law enforcement duties are consolidated in the National Police, there is some uniformity in police vehicles. Since emergency vehicles are usually imported from other parts of the world, one can see a great variety of light colors and siren types in Colombia. LED light sources appear increasingly as interior convenience lights in various locations, especially with finely focused lighting on console control surfaces and in cabin storage areas. 1973: Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and Fuji Heavy Industries sponsored CATC (Comprehensive Automobile Traffic Control), a Japanese research project on automobile navigation systems. In Europe, stopping distance regulations essentially require disc brakes for heavy vehicles. Green: Used by firefighter departments in cities like Santiago, Rancagua, etc. Also used by Gendarmeria de Chile for their prisoner transport vehicles. In addition to indicating a command point, some Australian fire services, particularly ones that fight rural fires, use green lights to indicate a fill point, I.e. a place where a tanker can fill up with water, like a large water tanker or a pump trailer situated next to a dam/lake.
Cable cannot be used on moveable bridges, and the delays would have stopped the whole system, so the NCCR leased and refurbished the city's LaSalle St. tunnel under the river, the WCCR would use the similar Washington St. tunnel for its first two lines. This prototype successfully tested the concept, and the two Mars Exploration Rover Mission landers employed similar landing systems. Such systems are used for many internal combustion engines in other applications. Patient transport vehicles working with hospitals and private clinics are authorized to use LED-type stripes on their windshields but no roof mounted equipment. Some non-emergency or law enforcement vehicles are also permitted to use special lighting equipment but only during transportation or normal operations. Amber: Non-emergency vehicles like school Buses, tow trucks, forklifts and construction equipment. Blue and Amber: Color pattern sometimes used by municipal guards or community outreach programs in cities like Puerto Montt. Like the US, ambulance service in Colombia is often contracted out to private companies, and some hospitals operate their own ambulance services. Red and Blue: Fire department, ambulance vehicles, some police portal car.
