'''Standard.

	'''Option.

'''Option. '''An emergency-vehicle traffic control signal may be installed for an emergency vehicle facility, without meeting signal warrants, if the facility has a dedicated entrance accessing the state highway.

	An emergency-vehicle hybrid beacon may be installed instead of an emergency-vehicle traffic control signal under the conditions described in [[902.14 Hybrid Beacons for Emergency-Vehicle Access (MUTCD Chapter 4N) #902.14.1\|EPG 902.14.1]].

'''Support. '''An emergency-vehicle traffic control signal is a special traffic control signal that directs all conflicting traffic to stop in order to permit the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle to proceed into the roadway or intersection.

The sight distance determination should be based on the location of the visibility obstruction for the critical approach lane for each street or drive and the posted or statutory speed limit or 85th-percentile speed on the major street, whichever is higher.

'''Standard. '''For a new emergency vehicle signal installation, the emergency entity, city, or other organization having control over the emergency equipment, shall be required to pay the full cost of construction and will be required to maintain the equipment.

'''Support. '''The MoDOT district uses the applicant's request and supporting data to approve the installation. If approval is given, a contract is executed between the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission and the proper local authorities or organization that covers the installation, maintenance, and operation of such a signal.

Normally, a push button is located in the emergency facility. The push button and the connection (wireless or wired) to the signal will be provided and maintained by the emergency facility.

Upon completion of the installation, the requesting party will be responsible for all maintenance, replacement costs, and power costs.

The TR06 Emergency Vehicle Signal Agreement is the standard agreement to be used.

See [[902.6 Steady (Stop-and-Go) Operation of Traffic Control Signals (MUTCD Chapter 4F) #902.6.18|EPG 902.6.18]] for preemption.
