Must reflective lights that serve the same purpose (e.g. turn signals) be the same color?
Lighting
Explanation
The **reflective lights** of a vehicle, such as **retro-reflectors**, must be the same color when they serve the same purpose. This is important to maintain consistency and safety on the road.
- **Retro-reflectors**: These devices reflect the light from other vehicles so that the vehicle is visible. The front retro-reflectors are **white**, the rear ones are **red**, and the side ones are **yellow**. Trailers and semi-trailers must have **red triangular** retro-reflectors at the rear.
- **Position lights**: These lights also follow a similar color scheme. The front lights are **white**, the rear ones are **red**, and the side ones are **yellow**.
- **Marker lights**: These lights, which indicate the width of the vehicle, are also **white** at the front and **red** at the rear.
In summary, lights that serve the same function must be the same color to ensure that drivers can easily identify the position and type of light, which contributes to safer driving.
