Pulsating Brake Light Allowed On Tankers.pdf
On October 8, 2020 (85 FR 63643) the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced its decision to grant National Tank Truck Carriers Inc.'s (NTTC) application for a limited 5-year exemption to allow motor carriers operating tank trailers to install a red or amber brake-activated pulsating lamp in the upper center position or in an upper dual outboard position on the rear of the trailers, in addition to the steady-burning brake lamps required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR). The Agency has determined that granting the exemption would likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level of safety provided by the regulation. This exemption is applicable October 8, 2020 and ending October 8, 2025.
