Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
A stationary police emergency vehicle displays flashing emergency lights. You approach on a highway with two lanes in your direction. What should you do?
Blue A approaches a police vehicle B on the shoulder; A's label is beside the car in its original near lane.
Correct answer: Move to the far lane if safe; otherwise slow to a prudent speed.
Why
Move out of the closest lane when safely possible. If a lane change is impossible, unlawful, or unsafe, slow to a reasonable and prudent speed. AS 28.35.185 also covers a tow truck actively picking up a vehicle, specified road-service vehicles, and other listed responders displaying flashing emergency lights.
