I don't know this for a fact, but it could very well be mandated by vehicle safety standards regulations. Of course, it wouldn't be very difficult to add extra lights like those you would see on the back of a tow truck or construction vehicle, but again that may be dictated by law.
- ortusdux 3y agoI believe that extra turn indicators are allowed. Ambulances have a similar issue where they have dozens of lights but clear signaling of turns is important. A common solution is to add yellow arrows [1]. If I were designing a delivery vehicle I would include turn arrows that are not activated by the hazards. https://www.fedsig.com/sites/default/files/products/Ambu.jpg https://www.fedsig.com/sites/default/files/products/Ambu.jpg
