How must drivers of priority vehicles warn of their presence when driving on urgent duty?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, priority vehicles (police, fire, ambulance) must warn of their presence by using both the luminous signal (blue light) and the special acoustic signal (siren) simultaneously. Exceptionally, they may omit the acoustic signal when its use is not strictly necessary and poses no danger to other road users, but the general rule to claim right of way involves using both. Using only hazard lights refers to private vehicles in an emergency or breakdown, not priority vehicles.
