Question

Does the operator of a mechanized street sweeper have to stop for red lights and other such traffic laws?

Answer 1

The ones in my town do. I would guess they have to obey the same laws as everyone except I don't ever see them stop at stop signs when there's no oncoming cars.  They just roll on through.

Answer 2

First of all this category is an oxymoron, Law and ethics no longer go hand in hand.

To answer the question: If it's a city worker, they consider themselves part of the system and therefore are above (omited from) city laws.

If it's a private company they d**n well better.  

Answer 3

HELLO...............       YES   you better hope so................
