You want to turn right on a green light, but an ambulance (A) with emergency lights and siren on is approaching the intersection from the opposite direction with its left turn signal on. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 2, about to turn right
- Green light
- Ambulance (A) is approaching from the opposite direction with lights, siren and left turn signal on
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). Look at the ambulance's turn signal and think about which road it will enter and whether that overlaps with your path.
Answer: ③, ④
Explanation
When an emergency vehicle approaches at or near an intersection, you must stay clear of the intersection and stop temporarily (Road Traffic Act Article 29(4)). If the oncoming ambulance turns left it will go into the road you are turning into, so your paths cross; stop before the stop line and turn right after A has passed. In an emergency, an emergency vehicle may proceed even where it would otherwise have to stop (Article 29(2)), and stopping inside the intersection only blocks its way.
