Emergency crews are working at a crash in the next block. A fire police officer in uniform stands in the road and signals you to turn right onto a side street. The lane ahead looks open. What should you do?
A approaches northbound toward a uniformed fire police officer who points to the side street on A’s right. An enlarged detail makes the pointing gesture clear; the forward lane is open in view, and the card places the crash crews in the next block.
Correct answer: Turn right onto the side street as the fire police officer directs.
Why
The people who direct traffic at an emergency can see hazards, hoses, injured people and vehicles that you cannot see. If you are not involved in the crash and help is already there, keep moving and keep clear of emergency vehicles. Near an emergency response area, move to a lane that is not next to it, or slow down if you cannot move over.
