I know red, blue, green, white are definitely not allowed unless you are a public service vehicle.
Is Amber allowed on personal vehicles?
Thanks
Personal Vehicle - LED Flasher Lights - Any colours allowed?

Re: Personal Vehicle - LED Flasher Lights - Any colours allo
im surprised that no one's answered this yet.
Yes - your turn signals are amber.
Yes - larger vehicles actually outline their shape with amber markers (ie large trucks)
Yes - quite a lot of vehicles come from the factory with amber side markers.
Yes - you can add a flashing or rotating amber light on top of your car if you really wish to (tow trucks do this)
Re: Personal Vehicle - LED Flasher Lights - Any colours allo
your subject is "flashing lights"
are you wanting to put on flashing lights on permanent lights
unless there is a reason for particular flashing lights as per statue I believe permanent amber is fine
Flashing red lights, visible from any direction on a vehicle, are restricted to law enforcement vehicles only. This restriction does not include four way flashers or tapping the brake pedal to produce an on and off effect with the brake lights. In addition to this, red lights and red and blue combinations of lights to the front are also restricted to law enforcement vehicles. Flashing blue lights are restricted to police vehicles and snow removal vehicles, but only while they are actually engaged in the removal of snow (or de-icing, etc). Flashing green lights are restricted to volunteer fire fighters.
The Highway Traffic Act says nothing specific about under carriage neon lighting, nor about any other specific colours than those mentioned above, so, as long as they conform to the above specifications, they should, in theory, be permitted. One thing to be aware of with respect to under carriage lighting is that a red light may cast a glow around the vehicle that is visible from the front of the vehicle, even though the light is not specifically positioned on the front of the vehicle.
Of course these sections are always open to interpretation by police officers laying charges and ultimately by a Justice of the Peace who determine guilt. Think carefully about how you can articulate your actions in light of the relevant legislation before making any aftermarket modifications to your vehicles lighting.

I was in court last week for a three dem points offense. The prosecutor offered everyone a plea of guilty with a lesser fine and no points. Almost 90% of them took the guilty plea.
For those who didn't agree to the plea bargain, they called them out after sometime and had the police officer "work"…
Hello ...
Am I the only person is Ontario that wonders why it was determined that the lines on the road [specifically the outer edge lines-shoulder of road] are painted white ... as the lines are not too visible in bad weather - especially snow as the white line blends with the snow.
I have seen a…
My wife received a ticket for driving with expired plates in 2013. I sent the ticket in the mail with payment but stupidly didn't make sure that it was paid. I assumed that they would send us a notice if it didn't.
Today, my wife was at the OPP office to get a criminal record check for school.…
Hi,
I got this ticket last year in toronto and received court date recently.
Basically I parket on a street where there are marked spots for car parking but they were all faded with only the white edges showing. I assumed I was in the correct spot when I got out. I never noticed the fire hydrant in…
Hi. I have trial date coming up and some good advice would be appreciated. A few months back the OPP clocked me at 142 KM on highway 401. It was late evening and I was totally surprised when he pulled me over. I had my wife and 2 sons with me in the car and there was no way I was speeding. I…
Okay, so as you guys can see in my previous thread, I got a ticket for "Red Light - Failed to stop". The ticket i got was in Scarborough. What paralegal/lawyers would you guys recommend I go with. Cost isn't really an issue, but I would really like to get this ticket dismissed.
So far the ones I've…
Hi there.
Today I received a ticket which claimed I was going 57 km in a 40 km zone. There was a tripod and a radar gun set-up at that location.
But the address of where this infraction occurred, as indicated on the ticket, was not where I got pulled over.
I checked the street number indicated on the…
Facts:
1st offence - Going to trial in Oct. - Offered plea deal at summons but decided to see what other options I might have. (For non paid ticket)
Was offered $500fine for no license.
My first question is does the SCC reference re Section 94(2) B.C. Motor Vehicle Act apply as a defense to the charge…
I was driving up the skyway bridge in Burlington Ontario in the right lane. I noticed an emergency vehicle on the right side with flashers about half way up. I slowed my vehicle by at least 10 kms to 90km right away but another car started to tailgate me very close. I even said to my wife - oh my…
Traffic stop in scarborough, ontario
I was travelling east bound on ellesmere road and approached markham road attempting to make a right turn. All signal lights were red and cars traveling down markham road south were given the green arrow. I slowed down and attempted to make the right turn. I got…
