Emergency Vehicle Right-of-Way: Police vs. Ambulance

In most jurisdictions, emergency vehicles (police, fire, ambulance) with sirens/lights activated have right-of-way over other traffic.

General Rules

1. Emergency vehicles legally proceed through intersections/lights; others must yield.
2. Signals: Sirens/flashing lights indicate emergency response.
3. Other drivers must: Yield (move over, stop), maintain safe distance, not impede or obstruct.

Emergency drivers still follow traffic laws and exercise due care. Training ensures safe, efficient emergency operation.

Right-of-way ensures timely arrival for those in need.
