If your hauling oversize loads in CA are you required to have flashing lights on the tractor?
Nope!
Is it against CVC to to run flashing lights?
You can run them if you have them but they arent required. I called the highway patrol to ask this very question and was told that they "prefer" that you run them if you have them but it isnt mandatory.
cool thanks monstertruck for the info
California amazes me. You can haul a 657 in one piece, but don't worry about flashing lights! No need to draw anymore attention to your 14 foot wide load than needed!
That's a good point nothing comes good from extra attention to you
Out here, you just take the good with the bad. We can also run 24/7 oversize loads where most other states have you park at dark. I guess they figure getting the large loads moved at night is easier on the public and the truckers. I know I would rather truck at night. Less traffic to deal with.
