Question 5911
Does an emergency vehicle on an urgent call have the right-of-way at an intersection?
- Yes, if it has its emergency signaling turned on and checks that there is no danger to other road users.
- Yes, even if it does not have its emergency signaling turned on.
- No.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, if it has its emergency signaling turned on and checks that there is no danger to other road users.
Yes, with its special signals on and with great care. Before going through an intersection without yielding or obeying a traffic light, the driver must take extra precautions until certain there is no risk of hitting any pedestrians and that others have stopped or are letting the vehicle through. Without its signals on, it does not have the right-of-way. In the image, the ambulance is crossing with its blue light on while the dark passenger car waits at its red light.
