Does the auto-yellow rotating light grant right of way to the special vehicles using it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, the yellow rotating light (technically known as the V-2 signal) does not grant right of way under any circumstances. Its sole function is to signal presence and warn other road users of a potential hazard, either because the vehicle is traveling at a speed not exceeding 40 km/h or because it is performing work on the road. It is a common mistake to confuse it with the blue lights of priority vehicles (police, ambulance, fire brigade). A special vehicle with the yellow light on must obey all traffic rules, traffic lights, and priority signs (intersections, stops, yields) just like any other driver.
