Item 1

 
must emit an amber beam of light, be at least 6 inches in
diameter and be equipped with blinking attachments. In
lieu of the lights specified, a vehicle may be equipped
with at least one auxiliary rotating flashing light
having 4-inch sealed beams and showing amber beams of
light over a 360` range or an amber strobe, or
combination of strobes, that emits at a minimum a beam of
1,000,000 candlepower and provides visible light coverage
over a 360` range. When the left wing of a plow is in
operation and extends over the center of the road, an
auxiliary light must show the extreme end of the left
wing. That light may be attached to the vehicle so that
the beam of light points at the left wing. The light
illuminating the left wing may be controlled by a
separate switch or by the regular lighting system and
must be in operation at all times when the vehicle is
used for plowing snow on public ways.

 
(4) A vehicle equipped and used for plowing snow on
other than public ways may be equipped with an
auxiliary rotary flashing light that must be mounted on
top of the vehicle in such a manner as to emit an amber
beam of light over a 360` angle, or an amber strobe, or
combination of strobes, that emits at a minimum a beam
of 50 candlepower and provides visible light coverage
over a 360` range. However, the vehicle must be
equipped with and must use such a light whenever the
vehicle enters a public way while in the course of
plowing private driveways and other off-highway
locations. The light may be in use on a public way
only when the vehicle is entering the public way in the
course of plowing private driveways and other off-
highway locations.

 
(5) A rural mail vehicle may be equipped with
auxiliary lights.

 
(a) The lights used to the front must be white or
amber, or any shade between white and amber.

 
(b) The lights used to the rear must be amber or
red, or any shade between amber and red.

 
(c) The lights, whether used to the front or
rear, must be mounted at the same level and as
widely spaced laterally as possible.

 
(d) The lights, whether used to the front or
rear, must flash simultaneously.
