Explanation
When an emergency vehicle is pulled over on any part of a highway or road, drivers must slow down below the posted speed limit and proceed with caution. If they are traveling on a road with two or more lanes traveling in the same direction, drivers are also required to move into a lane that is not adjacent to the emergency vehicle as soon as possible, if it is safe to do so.
