Explanation
Regardless of your direction, you must pull over to the edge of the road and allow an emergency vehicle to pass. When you see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching from any direction with lights or sirens activated, you yield the right of way. By immediately driving as close as you safely can to the right side of the road and stopping, you create a clear path for the emergency vehicle to pass without any delays or obstructions.
