require emergency personnel to use flares or emergency reflective triangles to mark stopped emergency vehicles in some circumstances.

Summary

The bill mandates that drivers of stopped emergency vehicles must mark the scene with three flares or emergency reflective triangles when visibility is reduced, road conditions make stopping difficult, or the vehicle must remain at the location for an extended time. It also ties the use of these markers to the vehicle’s exemption from traffic‑law penalties and to misdemeanor penalties for drivers who hit a marked stopped emergency vehicle. The goal is to improve safety for both responders and other motorists.
