Question 4216
May a fire service vehicle, while on emergency duty, use the high-occupancy vehicle (VAO) lane?
- Yes, if it is carrying at least three people.
- Yes, always.
- No.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, always.
Fire service, police, civil protection, and rescue vehicles, as well as ambulances, may use the HOV lane while on emergency duty, regardless of how many people they carry. In the image, the fire truck has its blue lights on. Without being on emergency duty, it would not have that permission.
