Question

class e general knowledge question #36 / 50
when approached by an emergency vehicle using sirens and / or flashing lights,
select a letter to choose your answer.
a drivers and bicyclists must pull over and stop for the emergency vehicle, but emergency vehicles must yield to pedestrians.
b drivers must pull over and stop for the emergency vehicle, but emergency vehicles must yield to bicyclists and pedestrians.
c drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians in the roadway must move to the nearest edge of the road and stop, without blocking any intersection or driveway.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: States only drivers and bicyclists must stop, but pedestrians are not addressed in terms of their action (they should also move to the edge and stop), so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Says drivers must stop, but bicyclists and pedestrians have different treatment, which is not accurate as all (drivers, bicyclists, pedestrians) should move to the edge and stop. Also, the yielding description is incorrect.
• Option C: Correctly describes that drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians in the roadway must move to the nearest edge of the road and stop, without blocking intersections or driveways, which aligns with traffic laws regarding emergency vehicles.

Answer:

C. Drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians in the roadway must move to the nearest edge of the road and stop, without blocking any intersection or driveway.
