I'm pretty sure that the answer is yes, but only if it turns red while it is in the intersection. If the light turns before the lead vehicle enters, then no. I work midnights and don't see too many funeral processions. Technically, no. Not at least without a police escort. However, out of respect, most people will stop and allow the procession to go through.

Why do cars turn on their lights while driving in a funeral procession?

It"s a convoy of sorts- an organized procession-so- all participants have the running lights-Position On. I would imagine hearses and limousines used by Funeral directors have beefed-up electrical systems ( generators, distributors) rto handle the extra load.


What time should you turn on your car lights?

You should turn on your car's headlights at dusk and when it is raining. It is also a general practice to turn your headlights on when in a funeral procession. You should check with your local motor vehicle bureau, since regulations may be different in the area you will be driving.


Is it a law that you pull over when a funeral procession goes by?

Yes. Also, you can't drive through it, as from a cross street. They can also blow any traffic signs and lights, so it's safer just to pull over and try another route. Most jurisdictions have police travel units with a funeral, so it's almost a sure thing you'll be pinched.


If you are in a funeral procession and an ambulance is coming who has the right of way?

Traffic laws are a state matter so it depends on the laws in your particular state. Many states have laws that govern funeral processions and some of those laws specifically include a special exemption for emergency vehicles. Some have laws that cover only processions that have a police escort. Some state have no laws on that topic.On the other hand, all states have laws that mandate the right of way for emergency vehicles with firetrucks often having the superior ROW.

Do you keep hazards lights on during funeral precession?

That depends on the traffic law/code where the vehicle is being operated. Check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles, or the Hiway Patrol, or your local drivers license office. Generally, I think that most states laws/codes strictly prohibit the use of hazard lights when a vehicle is moving. Hazard lights are intended to "mark" a disabled vehicle. I don't completely agree with this as I consider any vehicle moving slowly [including a funeral procession] to be a hazard to traffic moving at normal speeds, but what you or I think doesn't count; it's what the law says that counts.
