SGI says you are now more likely to see blue lights flashing when there is an emergency in Saskatchewan.
The provincial government has amended The Vehicle Equipment Regulations to allow more emergency vehicles to add blue flashing lights.
This impacts ambulances and fire fighting vehicles, and emergency vehicles that have been designated by a municipality or the Highway Traffic Board to be used in response to an emergency.
Minister Responsible for SGI, Don Morgan, says, “When you see blue lights, you pay attention. By improving the visibility, we’re helping keep first responders and other road users safe.”
Drivers must slow to 60 when passing emergency vehicles or tow trucks stopped at the roadside with the lights flashing.
