LC 1995 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Revising laws related to green lights on snow removal equipment

This bill restricts the use of flashing, rotating, or continuous green lights on public highways to only two specific situations: snow removal equipment operated by the Department of Transportation or other government entities, and incident commanders managing on-scene traffic control. The law directly affects government agencies and traffic officials by clarifying when green lights are legally permitted for use on roads. By limiting green light usage to these defined scenarios, the bill aims to prevent confusion among drivers and ensure consistent traffic safety standards. The legislation codifies these restrictions within existing Montana traffic laws to provide clear legal guidance for law enforcement and road maintenance crews.
