The emergency vehicle hybrid beacon is a special type of beacon assembly that assigns the right-of-way to authorized emergency vehicles leaving their station.
The Emergency Vehicle Hybrid Beacon (EVHB) can be installed where standard traffic signals may not be justified. The MUTCD code requires at least two emergency vehicle hybrid faces for each approach with one located over the roadway. For more specifics see MUTCD 2009 edition, Chapter 4G.
