Traffic Safety - As introduced, authorizes a tow truck to display a single, steady-burning or flashing blue light to the rear, but not the front, of the tow truck when stationary and engaged in the recovery of, or otherwise providing assistance to, another vehicle. - Amends TCA Title 55, Chapter 9, Part 4.

HB 1713 would allow tow trucks (recovery vehicles) to display a single blue light (steady or flashing) on the rear of the vehicle, but not the front, when stopped and assisting another vehicle. This applies specifically during stationary operations like vehicle recovery or roadside assistance. The bill amends Tennessee's traffic code to permit this lighting, aiming to improve visibility for tow trucks and other drivers. It does not require tow trucks to use the light, only authorizes it under these defined conditions.
