You are circulating in a roundabout when ambulance A comes up behind you with its lights flashing and siren sounding. The exit to the road on the right is just ahead of you. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is circulating in the roundabout; the exit to the road on the right is just ahead
- Ambulance A is coming up behind 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 (Article 29(4) of the Road Traffic Act). Stopping where you are INSIDE the roundabout is not avoiding the intersection, and the counterclockwise rule never changes, whatever the situation.
Answer: ②, ④
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)). Stopping inside the roundabout would block the ambulance, so signal (Article 38(1)), leave by the nearest exit, then stop temporarily at the edge. Going clockwise breaks the rule that roundabout traffic moves counterclockwise (Article 25-2(1)).
