Drivers of these vehicles are required to operate flashing warning lights while operating on these sites, and to have the lights turned off when not operating on these sites.1 Clients with heavy vehicles in these situations may choose to connect the FTC Manager device to their flashing warning lights so that the system can automatically measure and record the distance and time these vehicles are not travelling on a public road while operating on these sites.
