clearance lights

Truck top beacons

Clearance lights are the small lights mounted at the outermost edges of a vehicle to indicate its overall width and height.

Required on trucks, buses, and trailers above certain dimensions, they help other drivers judge the vehicle's size, especially at night: The clearance lights on the semi made it visible from a quarter mile away.
