A priority vehicle is traveling using only its special flashing lights. Is it mandatory to give way to it?
Right of way
Explanation
**Priority vehicles** are those that are equipped to perform **emergency services**, such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and civil protection vehicles. When these vehicles are on an urgent service, they use **special light signals** to indicate their priority on the road.
- **Facilitate passage**: All drivers must yield to these vehicles as soon as they see the special lights, even if they are not using acoustic signals. This is because the lights already indicate that they are on an urgent service.
- **Traffic rules**: Vehicles on emergency service have priority on all roads and may not follow the usual traffic rules, as long as they do not endanger other road users.
Therefore, it is mandatory to facilitate the passage of a priority vehicle using light signals, as it is indicating that it is on an **urgent service**.
