You are in an intersection. An emergency vehicle displaying flashing red lights and sounding a siren or bell is approaching. What should you do?

Correct answer

  • Pull over to the right in the intersection.
  • Increase your speed and continue on your way.
  • Pull over to the left in the intersection.

Explanation

When an emergency vehicle (ambulance, fire truck, police car, etc.) displaying flashing red lights and sounding a siren or bell approaches your vehicle on a two-way road, you must pull to the right and stop. If you are traveling on a one-way road, you must pull to whichever side is nearest and stop. However, you must not block an intersection even if there is an emergency vehicle approaching. If you are in an intersection, proceed through it and then pull over. Remain stopped until all emergency vehicles have passed.
