California’s “steady-burning red lamp, visible from 500 feet” adds more visibility, especially from a distance. Does the Vehicle Code still require them on every emergency vehicle in the state, or did that get repealed?
From what I understand its still part of California law, but I’ve seen a few vehicles that did not have steady burns. Likely just broken bulbs, but I can’t be certain.
It’s every emergency vehicles I use to work as a EMT and I would notice in scene the ambulance and fire trucks and police cars had one red light That wouldn’t go off
I see they stay in their primary jurisdiction pretty well. As expected, most of the streets they're on are Caltrans-owned highways given the all-LED traffic signals, generic non-backlit green street signs, long directional arrows in the road, and generally good condition of the pavement.
CHP's Vics are so beautiful 😍 I would love to get my hands on one! But I've already got one of my own, but maybe one day. I always thought CHP had one of the most unique light setups. I wonder what the reasoning behind it is?
At 9:00 the RUMBLER would come in handy. The officer needs to use the audible siren with the lights and not just the lights to get through traffic. People are looking down at their cell phones, changing the radio station etc. they're really not paying attention. Our units have the "rumbler" system which makes a huge difference in getting through traffic.
What type of emergencies would a CHP car respond to anyways? And how come alot of these clips are CHP cars in the city? Wouldn't they be on the highway usually?
@@supertrinigamer There was an incident where a CHP officer shot a man with a knife near my city. I think an altercation happened and it lead to the officer shooting him. Traffic Stops, invesitgations, and pursuits are just a few
@@supertrinigamer On top of accidents they're also the state police agency. If any city/county department can't keep up with demand or needs help they'll request CHP to assist.
Hate the flash pattern, such a waste of the lightbar, red and blue on same time makes a weird purple.. also steady burn red on the front looks like a brake light stuck on. Fire vehicles look good though.
Whoever came up with that CHP lighting pattern must have been drunk. I really dig the rear pattern alternating between red/blue and amber, but the front asymetric steady burn and the pattern change on the yelp really triggers my OCD, just like the all steady red/no blue feature they use on traffic stops.
In my opinion yelp/phaser should make the lights speed up in anything. The whole point of changing tones is to grab attention. Changing speed faster helps that goal. But still a retarded pattern set up all together
The flashing pattern light bars are actually more effective in warning and clearing traffic than a constant blur . Each of the patterns is used for a particular situation to gain the attention of motorists and for the safety of the officers .
Under California law, when emergency vehicle, like a police vehicle, is sounding a siren and has a lighted lamp with at least one red light, traffic around that vehicle must yield the right of way.
They also have the new sirens. I honestly prefer the classic CHP siren. I live in Canada, and want to hear/see a CHP vehicle responding with that classic siren before I die. That's definitely on my bucket list
CHP does not use a Priority siren and the only reason they do not is because California has a Vehicle code that only permits certain counties to use Priority's for their emergency Vehicles.
@@moritz5164 yea but as an european, we got audi's bmw's and england even got mustangs lol, not every police vehicle in europe is a shitty van, but i agree the police vehicles are a joke in most EU states
@@FlatExpression not true. Steady burn red is required on all emergency vehicles for code 3 response in California. Horn has nothing to do with steady burn.
This is the best sounding siren I have ever heard and i like the way the Ford explorer and charger and crown Victoria look with the black and white and with all white polar bear look and the chp bike as will with the black and white they all look badass with that look and this siren has to be my favorite siren of all times love the way they sound
The State of California requires 1 red light on all emergency vehicles to constantly stay on, back in the day there was a good reason for it but I am not very familiar with California code.
I love how they sync the lights with the siren
Its amazing
@@TBVGAMING34 it’s literally just working out how long each yelp is, and setting a step to that length my guy
@@aidtim1350 no, they have it set up so when the siren switches or the air horn is blown, a specific flash pattern or steady red is displayed.

Yeah, the led inserts in the fog light mounts is spot on, especially when they coordinate with the different siren tones.

There was like one officer at the santa cruz office who still drove that crown vic before it got retired, I think he worked on it too.
Does this guy just stand on a corner and turn on his camera when a police car 🚔 is coming?
All of these clips are from the same few places
He has a scanner,I think
Yep
This is a major thoroughfare to a Highway notorious for accidents as well.
We are known as emergency buffs, we use our scanner to hear emergency calls and then we sit at an intersection and get the code 3 (lights and sirens)
The sound of the ford crown Vic is like ASMR sounds goood
I think it’s cool how the light patterns change to the siren.

How do they know when and where to catch these movements?

CHP's Vics are so beautiful 😍 I would love to get my hands on one! But I've already got one of my own, but maybe one day. I always thought CHP had one of the most unique light setups. I wonder what the reasoning behind it is?
Visibility is the reason. A simple lighting setup is also more noticeable and less distracting than other lighting arrangements.
They should have Junior Brown singing "Highway Patrol" in the back round.
3:00 👌
Is it possible those are Motorola Spectra siren amps?
10:34, well that hybrid shit says 8 cyl on its number plate ^^ funny owner
So in California at least one forward-facing warning light has to shine permanently red (not flashing). Is that unique in the US?
It's pretty unique and yes, one light has to be steady burning.
One steady burn red at the front is unique in California, only.
The polar bears are the best looking in my opinion the explorers if you have ever seen one is just nice

Why theres always a red light staying open and not flashing on CHP's cars?
