While going through the intersection on a green light, ambulance A approaches from behind with its lights flashing and siren on. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight through the intersection in lane 1
- Green light
- Ambulance A is approaching from behind with lights and siren on
💡 Hint
The key to the temporary stop duty when an emergency vehicle approaches is 'avoiding the intersection' (Article 29(4) of the Road Traffic Act). If you are already inside the intersection, stopping right there may block its path, so think about where you should stop.
Answer: ④, ⑤
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)). If you are already inside it, do not stop there; go through, then pull over to the right edge and stop so the ambulance can pass. Stopping or reversing in the intersection blocks the ambulance and other traffic, and crossing the centerline risks a head-on collision.
