The bill would clarify that these lights may be operated on these types of vehicles in Delaware, removing potential confusion about their legal status.

Official abstract
This Act expands the use of green lights to include vehicles and equipment used for road construction and maintenance activities. Other states have already expanded their laws to allow green lights on these types of vehicles and equipment in addition to snow plows. This Act removes potential confusion over whether those lights may be operated in Delaware.
