What color should the clearance lights be on the front of the bus?

Clearance lights on the front of a bus should be amber in color. This standard is designed for visibility and safety, as amber lights are commonly used to indicate the presence of a vehicle or to enhance the visibility of the vehicle, especially in low-light conditions.

Amber clearance lights serve to alert other drivers of the bus's width and shape, helping to prevent accidents. The use of red lights is typically reserved for brake lights or tail lights, indicating a stop or a problem, while other colors like blue and green are not standard for vehicle clearance lights and could lead to confusion on the road. Keeping the color scheme consistent with established regulations ensures better communication of a vehicle's positioning and intentions on the road.
