Does a priority vehicle have right of way over other road users at an intersection?
Right of way
Explanation
**Priority vehicles**, such as police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and civil protection vehicles, have **right of way** over other road users **only when they are on an emergency service**. This means they must be using their sirens and special lights to indicate they are in an emergency situation.
In these situations, other drivers and pedestrians must facilitate their passage by moving to the right and stopping if necessary. Pedestrians should wait on the sidewalk to keep the road clear.
Therefore, a priority vehicle does not have the right of way at an intersection unless it is performing an emergency service.
