emergency work zone conspicuity

Making emergency and roadwork operations visible to approaching drivers: emergency-vehicle warning lights and color, fire/police/ambulance and tow conspicuity, truck-mounted attenuators (TMAs), high-visibility worker apparel, and work-zone delineation, cones, and markings. The object being made visible is a responder, work crew, or work zone, NOT an ordinary vehicle (vehicle_conspicuity) and NOT a pedestrian or cyclist in general traffic (vru_conspicuity).
