Explanation
When drivers hear a siren or see a vehicle with flashing red lights or a combination of red and blue lights approaching from any direction, they must pull over to the curb or side of the road and stop. Pulling off the road, or moving as near to the right as possible if unable to completely pull off, helps clear a path for the emergency vehicle, enabling it to reach its destination without delay.
