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.
