A deployable safety zone system includes a truck including a tank and a fuel nozzle assembly and an alarming system including a sensor assembly mounted to the truck. The alarming system defines an alarmed safety zone disposed adjacent the truck and adjacent the fuel nozzle assembly. The sensor assembly defines a perimeter of the alarmed safety zone. The perimeter is free of any physical support structures. A method for creating a deployable alarming and safety zone includes operably engaging an alarming system including a sensor assembly with a truck and deploying an alarmed safety zone including a perimeter adjacent the truck. The perimeter is defined by the sensor assembly and the perimeter is free of any physical support structures.

A vehicle assembly includes a lamp, a moveable panel configured such that the lamp is operably mountable to the moveable panel under a first operating condition, and a fixed panel configured such that the lamp is operably mountable to the fixed panel under a different, second operating condition. The lamp is configured to be powered through the moveable panel when operably mounted to the moveable panel. The lamp is configured to be powered through the fixed panel when operably mounted to the fixed panel.

Caution indicators are disclosed relating to transportation safety that include a sleeve, a primary opening and a protruding end opposite the primary opening. The sleeve may be 5 or more feet long; with the primary opening being at least as big as the protruding end. The sleeve may include both florescent material and retroreflective material. Use of such caution indicators may increase safety in the transport of long objects such as utility poles.

An example vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a lamp, a moveable panel, and a fixed panel. The moveable panel is configured such that the lamp is operably mountable to the moveable panel under a first operating condition. The fixed panel configured such that the lamp is operably mountable to the fixed panel under a different, second operating condition. An example lamp placement method includes, among other things, under a first operating condition, operably mounting a lamp to a moveable panel of a vehicle. Under a different, second operating condition, the method includes operably mounting the lamp to a fixed panel of the vehicle.

A portable lighted arrow sign for removable attachment to a surface of a vehicle is provided. The magnetic plate member has a plurality of light emitting diodes as illuminated members configured to display the shape of the arrow, which directs oncoming traffic away from the vehicle when the magnetic plate member is magnetically connected the surface of the vehicle. The magnetic plate member is characterized as portable in size and configured to be grasped by a user's hand, to maneuver and position the lighted arrow sign upon the surface of the vehicle. The portable lighted arrow sign is preferably characterized as having a length sufficient to extend laterally outwardly from the vehicle in the form of a cantilever, to provide improved warning and direction to oncoming traffic.
