This bill amends existing traffic regulations concerning the lighting equipment on vehicles, specifically for highway construction and maintenance vehicles. It allows these vehicles to be equipped with flashing amber, white, and green lights in road construction zones, as well as flashing blue and white lights under certain conditions, such as when workers are present and during nighttime hours. The bill also includes provisions for the Secretary of Transportation to establish rules and specifications for the design and use of these special lights.

Additionally, the bill makes several amendments to K.S.A. 8-1729 and K.S.A. 8-1731, including the deletion of certain restrictions on the use of flashing lights and the introduction of new regulations that permit the use of specific light colors for construction vehicles. The existing sections of K.S.A. 8-1729 and 8-1731 are repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
