You are going straight through a T-intersection on a green light when an ambulance (A) with emergency lights and siren on comes up from behind. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is going straight through the intersection in lane 2
- Green traffic light
- Ambulance A is approaching from behind in lane 1
When an emergency vehicle approaches, the rule is to make a temporary stop AVOIDING the intersection (Article 29(4) of the Road Traffic Act). If you are already inside the intersection, ask whether stopping where you are really avoids it, and note that crossing the centerline to make way is not allowed.
Answer: ③, 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 the intersection, do not stop there: clear it, then stop temporarily at the right edge of the road and let the ambulance pass. Stopping inside the intersection blocks the ambulance and other traffic, and carrying on as usual or crossing the centerline to get out of the way are also wrong.
