HB 2182: An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in other required equipment, further providing for visual signals on authorized vehicles.

This law allows highway construction and maintenance vehicles in Pennsylvania to use flashing or revolving green lights in addition to the standard yellow lights.

Any other vehicle found using similar green lighting equipment will be considered to have committed a summary offense and could face a fine between $100 and $500.
