Question 7373
Does an ambulance traveling with its emergency lights off have the right-of-way?
- It only has the right-of-way on urban roads.
- No.
- Yes, it has the right-of-way on all types of roads.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. An ambulance has the right-of-way only when it is responding to an emergency and signaling this with its blue light, alone or with the siren. With the light off, it is just another vehicle, both in cities and on roads outside them, and must follow the rules like everyone else.
