The key idea is giving way to emergency vehicles and clearing their path. When an emergency vehicle with sirens is coming up from behind on a multi-lane road, you should move to the right lane and, if it’s safe, pull over to the curb or edge of the road and yield until the vehicle has passed. This keeps the roadway clear for the responders to do their job quickly and safely. Stopping in your current lane or moving to the left can block or slow the vehicle and create unnecessary hazards for you and other drivers. If you can’t safely pull over due to traffic, slow down and proceed with caution until you can move aside. Always signal and check for other vehicles or pedestrians as you change lanes or pull over.
