- is not required to obey traffic lights, but is required to obey signs.

Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: is required to obey traffic rules and signals.
Using your car to handle an emergency does not turn it into an emergency vehicle. You must still obey all traffic rules, signs, and signals, including traffic lights, especially at intersections. In the image, the passenger car has its hazard lights on to signal the emergency, but it is still braking for the red light.
