WHAT:       First use of a new high-tech traffic signal warning system
            to protect motorists when emergency vehicles speed through
            intersections. Designed by E-ViEWS Safety Systems, Inc.
            with assistance from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the
            system utilizes advanced intersection signal preemption
            technology and lighted warning signs with flashing icons.

            management and NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
            representatives.
