MUTCD Compliance and State Regulations for Empco Barricade Lights
All Empco barricade lights offered by Trans Supply are designed to meet MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) guidelines, which require specific types of lights for different barricade and traffic control applications. Type A lights are used for nighttime use on temporary traffic control devices; Type C lights are for 24-hour operation; and Type B lights are high-intensity and typically used for high-speed roads.
While MUTCD compliance is federally mandated, some states like California, Texas, and New York have additional standards regarding brightness levels, flash rates, and battery type. For example, California DOT often requires solar-powered units for longer deployments, while New York DOT prefers lights with theft-resistant mounting hardware. Trans Supply helps ensure you get the correct light for your state’s specific requirements—just ask our support team for guidance.
