Authorization was given from higher up as far as CDOT is concerned to run reds & blues for the on call/emergency service bucket trucks. To lower incidents involving these vehicles.

But regular maintenance vehicles still have ambers. But the move over & slow down law still applies to them.
Several local city signal maintenance vehicles have had reds & blues for a very long time, authorized through local jurisdictions.
Interesting. After seeing people drive headlong into a directional trailer or into temporary jersey barriers used for lane changes, I know that getting driver's attention is important and almost impossible sometimes.
