As BD103 posted that is how they are used in TV.

Where I am located in Akron Ohio they are used to notify emergency vehicles that the lights at the intersection are red in all directions. Here emergency vehicles have the ability to change all the traffic signals on the streets that they are traveling to red to aid in responding.
Hawk, in NY State they're used as they are in Ohio. Wouldn't it be nice to have some uniformity with traffic laws and enforcement devices such as the blue lights?
