Explanation
Drivers must yield the right-of-way to any emergency vehicle using a siren and emergency lights. If you see the flashing lights of an emergency vehicle coming from behind you but you are in heavy traffic and can't clear the road, keep moving slowly until you can safely pull over to the right side of the road. If you see or hear an emergency vehicle coming toward you when you are in an intersection, continue through the intersection and then pull over to the right as soon as it is safe.
