Scott's Law, 625 ILCS 5/11-907(c), is a mandatory move over law in the state of Illinois. [1] The law requires that all motorists move over when encountering stopped or disabled emergency vehicles displaying warning lights. [2]
However, these lights sometimes do not detect smaller vehicles such as bikes or motorcycles. Traffic lights that do not service traffic due to non-detection may not meet the federal legal definition adopted by most states for a traffic control signal, which is any device "by which traffic is alternately directed to stop and permitted to proceed".
Blue lights alone may be used to secure the site of an accident (or a standing emergency vehicle). Sometimes, columns of emergency or police vehicles use blue lights (without the two-tone horns) to make the column more visible to other vehicles. [39] Blue and yellow are the only colours of flashing lights legal for use on moving vehicles.

How you can signal to someone that their headlights are off when it’s dark.
In other states, law enforcement officers give citations for headlight flashing under three types of laws: (1) laws prohibiting a person from obstructing a police investigation, (2) laws prohibiting a person from having flashing lights on their vehicle, and (3) laws prohibiting shining a vehicle's high beams at oncoming traffic.
The law we’re discussing applies to drivers on a roadway, which is defined as the part of the highway “ordinarily used for vehicular travel.” Or more simply, the part between the fog lines.
