Question: 1 / 400

What should you do if you are within an intersection and an emergency vehicle approaches?

Stop immediately

Proceed through the intersection

When an emergency vehicle approaches while you are within an intersection, the appropriate response is to proceed through the intersection. This action is necessary because stopping abruptly in the intersection could create a hazardous situation for both yourself and other vehicles. Emergency vehicles typically have the right of way, and while it's essential to yield to them, it is safest to complete your crossing before yielding.

Stopping in the middle of the intersection could cause confusion and complicate the emergency vehicle's navigation through traffic. It allows for a clearer path as you clear the intersection rather than introducing the risk of a collision with vehicles behind you or other drivers trying to maneuver around you.
