Relief and new technologies: the story of Jad, born thanks to a video call to the…. By Martina Tesser Last updated Jul 12, Do you know the meaning of your ambulance color? Do you know why is it painted that way? Why in other countries there are different colors, and what about battenburg? Ambulance color: some example This is the only point that gathers emergency vehicles.
Are the ambulance color schemes for fashion or for a purpose? Now that could change with the emergency vehicles being resprayed bright yellow. The move is part of a plan to introduce uniform ambulances throughout Europe to improve safety and ensure that they are instantly recognisable. The first resprayed ambulance was put into operation, in Slough, Berkshire, this week - and should the pilot prove acceptable, vehicles painted "Euro Yellow RAL " could be driving up and down motorways, autoroutes and autobahns within the next two years.
At present, countries operate different coloured ambulances - Germany's are salmon pink, Denmark's are Euro yellow, and France's road traffic accident ambulances are red, for instance - and the differences have led to confusion.
In Britain, the ubiquity of the white van has also meant that, despite their distinctive sirens, ambulances are not always instantly recognisable. The colour change is a recommendation of a working group on the European committee of standardisation, which has been considering how to make ambulances as instantly recognisable as possible throughout the continent.
These can be used to outline vehicles using stripes and other shapes, letters, and logos, all of which allow motorists to figure out what type of vehicles are either approaching them or parked on the roadside.
Retroreflective material is functional during the hours of darkness. Based on what people in emergency response have told him, red persists solely due to tradition and the fact that those in charge want their vehicles to be red, no matter what the science says. Until those in charge pay attention to the science, the poor visibility associated with red emergency vehicles and the unnecessarily higher cost in human injuries, lives, and damage to expensive equipment due to collisions may unfortunately continue.
