Intersection Lighting - Often the Step-Child

Have you ever noticed that most stealth-type response vehicles (no roof top lightbar) seem to be lacking intersection lighting? There seems to be to much emphasis put on the front and rear of the vehicle. Now don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer of proper lighting in the front and back of the vehicle but we need to remember side warning! From what I remember, most accidents that occur while driving with lights and sirens occur at intersections. This makes me think that side warning should be just as important, if not more important than front and rear warning.

I'm sure theres another factor that goes into the "intersection accidents." I see many emergency vehicles that dont come to a complete stop before entering an intersection at a red light (or even stop sign). Not only is this a danger to the public safety personnel but also to everyone in the vicinity of that intersection. Between safer driving and better lighting we should be able to cut back on many intersection accidents.
