Are you required to yield the right of way to priority vehicles driving on urgent duty?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is absolutely mandatory. According to traffic regulations, drivers of priority vehicles (such as police, fire, ambulance, and civil protection) have the right of way over other vehicles and road users when they are on urgent duty. Other drivers must take appropriate measures, usually by moving to their right or stopping if necessary, to facilitate their passage and ensure safety. Limiting priority only to the police is incorrect, as it applies to all signaled emergency services.
