Suggestion Title: Add a traffic board to the rear of the fire truck
Suggestion Description: The fire truck is a great tool for traffic control but could do better in assisting. I use it to prevent people who don't listen to broadcasts and plow into cones from killing 4 people. All we need is Left, Right, and diverging arrows. Either a single light row or a dedicated LED sign.



Why should this be added?:
- Real fire trucks have this (former firefighter + traffic firefighter cert)
- Scene safety, using the fire truck as as crash barrier and telling people where to go
- Gives fire more of a way to assist other units such as traffic control for EMS or PD if they are busy.

What negatives could this have?:
- FD is not traffic and as such some could do more than they should.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: The fire truck blocking view and not being as good of a traffic barrier as it could be.

Not done yet, but I made a traffic panel for the fire truck to go above the hose bay on my own to see how it would look with an old fashioned board. Still needs clamps and etc to make it look nice but here is a proof of concept video. Hopefully people like this enough to think its good as it took me like 4-5 hours to model it and texture it and animate it ;-;
