Not only do clearance and marker lamps enhance a large vehicle’s visibility, but they also help determine its size. Both are visual signatures, meaning they don’t require a specific skillset, language, or ability to read to identify. But the two have different functions, and we will compare clearance lights vs. marker lights to explain each type’s purpose. Take a look!<\/p>\n\n\n
Clearance lights are the red or amber lights on the front and rear of wide trucks, buses, trailers, etc. And their purpose is to notify motorists and pedestrians of the presence of a wide vehicle. As per the federal motor vehicle safety standards<\/a>, any large vehicle (80 inches or wider) should have these lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some trucks can have these lights on the roof or left and right sides. The position of these lights might depend on local laws, so you need to check them to determine the best location to install them. But most state laws in the US are in line with the federal regulations, which require front and rear installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
