You have entered an intersection. An emergency vehicle displaying flashing lights and sounding a siren is approaching. What should you do?

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

Answer: (D)

When an emergency vehicle with lights and a siren is approaching, you must yield the right of way and get out of the way quickly. If you’re in an intersection, the safest, most practical move is to continue through the intersection to clear it, then pull over to the right edge of the road and stop. This avoids keeping the intersection blocked and allows the emergency vehicle to pass more quickly. Stopping in the intersection or pulling to the left would hinder traffic flow and could delay the emergency vehicle. After the vehicle has passed, proceed with caution.
