Driver duties and responsibilityQuestion #15802
What are pedestrians prohibited from doing when an emergency vehicle with beacons and an audible signal switched on is approaching?
Explanation
When an emergency vehicle approaches with its beacons and siren on, pedestrians must not start crossing the carriageway. Those already on it must do the opposite — leave it without delay. That is no longer a prohibition but a duty.
KET reference: KET 47 p.: When an emergency vehicle approaches with beacons and a siren, pedestrians must not start crossing the carriageway; those already on it must leave it at once.
