NC LAW: Can I use flashing/alternating lights on my suv?

First off, I am a utility contractor for a cable company in NC. I use my own vehicle (Chevy Blazer) for work (magnetic signs). Occasionally I enjoy to stop on the road and block a lane of traffic to access a utility pole or to help others (traffic control). We use red cones for this.

Our company owned trucks also use a small orange slow strobe (1 flash/sec). I usually use my hazards. This is still not plenty with all of the curvy roads we encounter contained by the mountains. We had two guys rear completed because the other drivers "didn't see bright orange cones" and I almost got hit 3x. I would close to to have ONLY my ORANGE HAZARDS flash rapidly and alternately but simply when I am parked in the road working. Is this legal?

I stay greatly busy working usually 60 hours a week and I don't have the time to read a manual or usually even brand name a phone call. I am looking for some help researching this and the RIGHT answer! I know it's borderline, that's why I am asking! NO "maybes" or "probablies"!

This would be the same is if you be working for a large trucking company and it is legal.

I enjoy seen this many times be a vehicle will have flashing headlights and top mounted strobe lights for use during work related jobs, any just for sitting by the roadside for protection of the job and the workers.

I be told that while driving these vehicle if the lights are needed that they could only use the flashing amber lights either on top or the ones that are mounted contained by the front grill.
First off, I'm not really impressed by how busy you claim to be. If you had the time to write up this grill, you could have done some research on your own.

That being said, pinch a look at the statistics on how many police and emergency vehicles are rear-ended while stopped on the side of the road for different purposes... It's downright scary, and you can bet that they have more flashing lights and barricade than you will ever have!

People just don't rate attention anymore. All the flashing lights and rubber cones in the world will not protect you from that one drunk driver who is just too out-of-it to see and respond to your little motor sitting on the shoulder of the highway.

I would suspect a couple of magnetic yellow strobe lights on the roof of your vehicle would be more powerful than added flashing lights mounted inside your turn signals. The higher up the lights are, the easier it is for others to see them. If you're driving an SUV type vehicle, make sure the strobes are mounted far satisfactory to the rear of your vehicle, so they can be seen by drivers approaching from the reverse.
Of course you should use them! They are hazard lights and you present a hazard on the roadway. Most restrictions are not have Blue or Red Lights visible from the front.

I wouldn't bother near arranging for your hazards to flash differently, the average driver wouldn't see them either! Like already said, you can acquire all sorts of strobes and light bar which run off the lighter socket and which are much more visible. Oh, and put preventive signs/cones out BEFORE the curve you're hiding around.

Old associates are the worst drivers?



Answers:    You can install strobes or a flipside wig wag control on your rear facing lights legitimately. You can also purchase a strobe beacon (like you have on the company trucks) that plugs into the lighter and is enigmatic.

It is legal as long as you are stopped! You can even have the stop (brake) lights flashing as segment of your hazard warning system!
