by reference.
(e)
Types of warning lights are as follows:

lights that are only effective during hours of darkness due to their
low intensity. The lens of this type of light may be one-way or two-way
as required by the direction of traffic they are meant to serve.

lights that are effective during daylight hours as well as darkness.

Application of warning lights. Application of
flashing warning lights, Types A and B:

Flashing warning lights may be used to call
drivers' attention to signs, obstructions, or potential hazards. Therefore,
they may be mounted on signs, barricades, drums, vertical panels,
barriers, or other supports.
(b)
Flashing warning lights may be used to mark
obstructions or potential hazards. They are not permitted to be used
for delineation since a series of flashers would tend to obscure the
desired vehicle path. Flashing warning lights are not permitted to
be used in series unless the spacing between successive flashes is
at least 250 feet.

Two-way Type A lights are not permitted to be
used when they would be visible and confusing to drivers in other
