Explanation
When you see or hear an emergency vehicle approaching, you must pull over to the right edge of the road or as near to the right as possible and stop. You must remain stopped until the emergency vehicle has passed. This allows the emergency vehicle to proceed without delay. You should never stop in an intersection. If you are in an intersection when you see the emergency vehicle, drive through the intersection and then pull over to the right as soon as it is safe and stop.
