A fire engine is driving on an emergency call. Must we obey the instructions of the traffic officers?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
Fire trucks are considered emergency service vehicles. When they are in an emergency situation, they must use sirens and lights to indicate their priority on the road. In these circumstances, they have the right of way over all other vehicles and pedestrians, who must yield to them.
Although emergency vehicles may not follow the usual traffic signals, they must obey the instructions of traffic officers. This is crucial to ensure the safety of all road users, as officers can manage traffic more effectively in emergency situations.
Therefore, traffic officers must always be obeyed, even when a fire truck is in urgent service.
