move to a lane not adjacent to emergency vehicle and pass with caution
Pull over to the right side of the road when it's safe to do so.
Slow down, evaluate the situation, proceed with caution in lane furthest from emergency vehicle.
When approaching an emergency vehicle parked on a two-lane roadway with the emergency lights activated, you must slow down to a safe speed and move to a lane that is not immediately adjacent to the emergency vehicle. If this is not possible due to traffic or road conditions, you should proceed with caution and be prepared to stop if necessary. The exact speed reduction may vary depending on the situation, but it is important to prioritize the safety of emergency personnel and other drivers on the road.
