The following is a representative list of commonly “authorized”
users of Traffic Signal Preemption devices. The regulation (if any) of legal
users varies state by state and local by local governing body. In general,
Traffic Signal Preemption is typically approved for use by any department or
individual who has legitimate need for such a device for conducting business
of an “official” or “emergency” nature. You should
go to your state’s “Department of Transportation” web site
link and speak with local authorities to learn the details for your area.
In addition, some areas may not yet have all (or in some cases “any”)
of their traffic lights equipped with the technology that receives the Traffic
Signal Preemption signal. You may check with the locality’s Department
of Traffic Management.
