New warning light rules for police
Wisconsin law sets rules for police vehicle warning lights. Marked vehicles with exterior light bars must have blue lights on the passenger-side roof and red lights on the driver-side roof. Inside lights must show blue on the passenger side and red on the driver side. Marked vehicles meeting those roof or interior rules can add blue and red lights anywhere on the front, sides, or rear. Unmarked vehicles must display blue lights on the passenger side and red lights on the driver side. Lights must be plainly visible and understandable from 500 feet in normal daylight and darkness. Officers must turn them on as required when using special driving privileges under state law. Use is limited to emergency calls, pursuing actual or suspected lawbreakers, responding to—but not returning from—fire alarms, and necessary highway parking that creates a traffic hazard. State law also allows use as authorized under Wisconsin Statute 346.215(2)(a).
