I understood where you were going with that.  I dont know how it works in the
USA but here provincial law is key.  I would assume that State law is the same?

 ML> yup... yellow and white on a lot of newer stuff...

I've seen some white on Ambulances, but not on top.  Mostly strobes on the back
and sides.  From recent news video, I see the police also have similar.

Blue is used here by snow removal crews, and yes, being visible is good
