You are driving through a busy signalized intersection when an emergency vehicle displaying active flashing red lights and sounding a siren approaches rapidly from behind. Place the following driver actions in the correct sequential order from first to last.

  1. 1Proceed completely through the intersection without stopping inside the junction.
  2. 2Check mirrors and activate the right-turn signal to indicate intent to clear the travel lane.
  3. 3Steer smoothly to the far-right edge of the roadway or right curb as soon as it is safe.
  4. 4Bring your vehicle to a complete stop parallel to the curb and remain parked until all emergency vehicles pass.

Cevap

The correct sequence of actions is: 1) Proceed completely through the intersection without stopping inside the junction, 2) Check mirrors and activate the right-turn signal to indicate intent to clear the travel lane, 3) Steer smoothly to the far-right edge of the roadway or right curb as soon as it is safe, and 4) Bring your vehicle to a complete stop parallel to the curb and remain parked until all emergency vehicles pass.
When an emergency vehicle approaches from behind while you are in an intersection, protocol requires clearing the intersection completely first before pulling over. Once clear, you signal and check mirrors, pull smoothly to the far-right edge of the road, and come to a complete stop until all emergency vehicles have passed.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Clear the immediate intersection area.
The intersection remains clear for traffic flow.
Traffic laws explicitly forbid stopping inside an active intersection when yielding to emergency vehicles.
2
Communicate intention and verify surrounding traffic.
Nearby drivers are alerted to your upcoming move.
Checking blind spots and signaling prevents secondary collisions when transitioning lanes.
3
Maneuver to the rightmost portion of the road.
Travel lanes are cleared for the approaching emergency vehicle.
Standard move-over and yielding regulations require pulling to the right edge or curb of the roadway.
4
Stop completely and hold position.
The vehicle stays safely immobilized.
Stopping allows emergency responders to pass without anticipating unpredictable driver movements.
