What are the different coloured flashing beacons on vehicles?

Question

I need to know what vehicles have red, amber, green and blue colour flashing beacons

Answer 1

In the UK, red flashing lights cannot be shown by any vehicle in motion, they are used to denote the commanding vehicle at the scene of an accident.

Blue is emergency services on an emergency call (police, fire crew, paramedics/ambulance, mountain rescue, etc. I'm not sure about lifeboat crew).

Green is doctors on emergency calls (I don't know how you qualify to carry one).

Amber is simply a hazard light, and can be fitted to any vehicle without any kind of permission from the police. They should be used with respect, however. They are sometimes required by law on certain vehicles.

Answer 2

Green flashing beacon (360 degree flashing light illuminating between 60 and 120 times a minute) is an emergency doctor on call.
Green beacons are now also used on plant vehicles (diggers etc) on a work site to show that the driver is wearing a seat belt.
Blue is for all the emergency services.
Red beacon with white squares is a fire service control vehicle.
Amber is used for towing or abnormal loads in motion, or a slow moving vehicle (can t exceed 25 mph) on a dual carriageway where the speed limit exceeds 50mpg. any vehicle causing an obstruction or hazard when stationary.
According to law, Yellow beacons are for vehicles on airports, although I ve only ever seen them use standard amber beacons.
