Question 6110
Are emergency vehicles on an emergency call allowed to use only the light signal?
- No, they must use the light and audible signals at the same time.
- Only on urban roads; on roads outside built-up areas they must always use the audible signal.
- Yes, when it does not pose a danger to other road users.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, when it does not pose a danger to other road users.
Yes. If turning off the siren poses no danger to others, the emergency vehicle must use only the light, both in cities and on roads outside them. This can happen, for example, when the road is almost empty, as in the image. With just the light on, it still has the right-of-way.
