Question 5222
The vehicle in the photograph has only its light signals turned on. Does it have the right-of-way?
- Yes, because it is on an urban road.
- No, because it does not have its light and audible signals on at the same time.
- Yes, as long as omitting the audible signal poses no danger to other road users.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, as long as omitting the audible signal poses no danger to other road users.
Yes. An emergency vehicle must use only its blue light when turning off the siren poses no danger to others, and it still has the right-of-way. This applies both in cities and on roads outside them, so being on an urban road is not the reason.
