May priority vehicles on an emergency call enter the central reservation of a motorway?
Right of way
Explanation
**Priority vehicles on emergency service**, such as ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks, have certain exceptions to traffic rules to reach their destination quickly. These vehicles can **enter the median of a motorway** as long as they are on an urgent service and **do not compromise the safety of other road users**.
- These vehicles must **signal their arrival** using sirens and special lights, which grants them **right of way** on all roads, including motorways and highways.
- Although they are allowed to perform maneuvers that would normally be prohibited, such as changing direction or reversing, and entering the median, they must do so **ensuring there is no danger** to other vehicles or pedestrians.
Therefore, the correct answer is that they can indeed enter the median, but always with the condition that they do not endanger the safety of other road users.
