You want to enter a roundabout and go to the road straight ahead. Ambulance A, with its lights flashing and siren sounding, is circulating toward your entry. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) plans to enter the roundabout and leave by the road straight ahead (top)
- Ambulance A is circulating toward you with lights flashing and siren sounding
When an emergency vehicle approaches at or near an intersection, you must avoid the intersection and make a temporary stop, and a roundabout is an intersection too (Article 29(4) of the Road Traffic Act). Stopping inside the circulating lane actually blocks its path, and your duty to yield to circulating vehicles remains even after the emergency vehicle has passed.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
When an emergency vehicle approaches at or near an intersection, you must make a temporary stop clear of the intersection (Road Traffic Act Article 29(4)). A roundabout is an intersection, so entering and stopping inside would block the ambulance; wait on the approach instead. After it passes, you must still yield to circulating vehicles before entering (Article 25-2(2)).
