If you are in an intersection when an emergency vehicle approaches, you should

• A. Move to the right and stop in the intersection.
• B. Continue through the intersection, then pull over to the right and stop.
• C. Move to the left and stop in the intersection.
• D. Continue through the intersection, then pull over to the left and stop.

Answer: (B)

When an emergency vehicle is approaching, you must yield the right of way so they can pass safely. The best approach is to pull to the right edge of the road and stop. If you’re in an intersection when the emergency vehicle arrives, you should continue through the intersection and then pull over to the right and stop. Stopping inside the intersection can block cross traffic and delay the responders, creating a hazardous situation. By finishing the passage through the intersection first, you clear the way and then can safely move to the right edge and stop. After stopping, stay put until the emergency vehicle has passed and it’s safe to proceed.
