New Jersey Blue Light Laws
In New Jersey, a privately owned vehicle (POV) is only allowed to display a blue light with a permit. The approval of the permit is based on the status of the individual. EMTs and firefighters display blue lights, while officers of Emergency Medical Service squads and fire departments are allowed to display red lights. Vehicles with courtesy lights in New Jersey are not permitted to break traffic laws. However, it is required by law for vehicles to yield to vehicles using blue (or red) lights. Hide-away and headlight flashers (commonly known as wig-wags) are not allowed on a POV in New Jersey.

Pardie! Summer is like a fat beast, sleepy in mildew....”
