You are stopped at the stop line on a red light when ambulance A approaches from behind in lane 2 with its lights flashing and siren on. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is stopped at the stop line in lane 1 on a red light
- Ambulance A is approaching from behind in lane 2 with lights and siren on
- Car B is going through the intersection on a green light
When an emergency vehicle approaches at or near an intersection, you must avoid the intersection and make a temporary stop (Article 29(4) of the Road Traffic Act). Note that the exemption from obeying signals applies only to the emergency vehicle, not to ordinary vehicles trying to make way for it.
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
When an emergency vehicle approaches at or near an intersection, you must avoid the intersection and stop temporarily (Road Traffic Act Article 29(4)). The ambulance may proceed without stopping when urgent (Article 29(2)), but ordinary vehicles must still stop on red (Enforcement Rule, Annex 2), so do not enter the intersection or follow the ambulance through. Stay at the stop line and keep lane 2 clear.
