Question

All vehicles, regardless of direction of travel, must yield right of way to an approaching emergency vehicle. When does this rule not apply?

Answer 1

The rule requiring vehicles to yield to emergency vehicles does not apply in certain situations.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule that requires all vehicles to yield right of way to an approaching emergency vehicle does not apply in certain situations:

1. If you are in an intersection and have already entered before the emergency vehicle arrives, you should continue through the intersection and then pull over to allow the emergency vehicle to pass.
2. If you are already pulled over and stopped on the side of the road, you do not need to yield again when an emergency vehicle approaches. However, you should stay stopped and allow the emergency vehicle to pass safely.
3. If you are on a divided highway with a physical barrier or median separating the two opposite directions of travel, you are not required to yield to an emergency vehicle traveling in the opposite direction.
