When you are standing with your vehicle before an intersection while the red light is on, and you notice a security vehicle behind you, with its siren on and its lights flashing:
- You should get on the sidewalk (pavement) in order to clear the way for the security vehicle.
- You are permitted to enter the intersection while the red light is on as well.
- Correct answer: You are not allowed to enter the intersection while the red light is on.
- You should enter the intersection while the red light is on.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: You are not allowed to enter the intersection while the red light is on.
A red light still binds you even when a security vehicle with a siren and flashing lights is behind you. The law does not let you enter the intersection on red to clear the way, because you could crash into traffic coming from other directions. Driving onto the sidewalk is also forbidden and endangers pedestrians. Wait in place and give way only when you can do it safely and legally.
