Dear Mr. Hoover: This is in response to your letter of January 17, 1975, asking whethe your 'STASH-FLASH' barricade is permissible for emergency and other use.; The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration neither approved no disapproved individual devices. Rather, we establish performance standards for special types of motor vehicle equipment. As Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 125, dealing with warning devices, does not apply to devices with self-contained energy sources, your device would not fall under the requirements of that standard, and may be produced by you without regard to the safety standards.; I trust this information is useful to you. Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
