Is the use of sirens prohibited for non-priority vehicles?

Explanation
Non-priority **vehicles** are prohibited from using sirens at all times. Sirens are acoustic devices used to alert other drivers and pedestrians to the presence of a vehicle that needs priority on the road. However, their use is strictly reserved for **emergency service vehicles**, such as ambulances, police cars, fire trucks, and civil protection and rescue vehicles.
These vehicles, when in an emergency situation, must turn on the sirens and lights to indicate their arrival and obtain right of way on all roads. Other vehicles and pedestrians are required to yield to them, moving to the right and stopping if necessary.
Therefore, vehicles not designated for emergency services cannot use sirens under any circumstances, as this could cause confusion and jeopardize road safety.
