Question 5866

Must you yield the right-of-way to an ambulance that is using only its special light signal?

  1. Yes, but only on an urban road.
  2. No, because it must always use it together with the audible signal.
  3. Yes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

Yes. With its blue light on, the ambulance signals that it is responding to an emergency and has the right-of-way, both in cities and on roads outside them. If turning off the siren poses no danger to anyone, it must use only the light.
