What If an emergency vehicle passes you in traffic just as it passes you the pitch of the siren changes. This is because?
This is known as the Doppler effect. The pitch changes as the vehicle stops moving towards you, and starts to move way from you.
Can buses go through red lights?
No because due to no seat belts and the fact that it's not an emergency vehicle, they are not allowed to go through red lights. Never try that.
Is a pogo stick a vehicle?
sorta, cause when you jump on it it moves you but a vehicle has to have wheels and pogo sticks don't. No a vehicle does not have to have wheels because a sled is technically a vehicle according to dictionary.com
What is the acceleration of a vehicle that changes velocity from 100km to a dead stop in 30seconds?
It wont be accelerating at all, its in the process of stopping you ignorant sh it
How does a traffic light signal work?
Traffic lights have the light sets, which emit colored light to "control" traffic. Additionally, there is support equipment that includes programmable logic controllers, or PLCs and sensors in the street. Let's take an intersection with two lanes of traffic in each direction on both roads. We'll include a left turn lane in all directions, too. Ready to look at how things work? Then let's do that by starting with the sensors. The sensors are basically coils of wire (inductors) below the pavement. A vehicle that passes over one will cause a change in the inductance of the coil. The controlling circuits will sense this and know a vehicle has passed over it. All the lanes will generally have these coils buried in the street near the intersection. Let's move on to the lights. The lights, the red, yellow and green ones, simply respond to programmed instructions. These include a combination of timing and sensor data. The timing is set by traffic engineers who use traffic data to "dial in" the controls. When enough time has passed, as set, the light will change to stop traffic along one street and allow traffic on the other street to proceed. If a vehicle passes over the sensor in the turn lane, that traffic is given a chance to cross at the beginning (or end) of flow in that direction on that street. If no traffic has crossed the sensor, that traffic lane will be ignored. In cases where a "minor street" meets a "major street" and the hour is late, the timing circuit might be "paused" to allow a constant green on the major street unless a vehicle is sensed on the minor street. Different combinations of traffic flow can be accommodated by considered programming of the controllers. One instance of this is to set up a "cascade" of green lights for traffic moving along a long street with a lot of lights. If a driver maintains a "regular" speed and traffic isn't exceptionally heavy, the driver will see the signals turning green as he approaches them. Other variations are possible, as any driver experienced in an urban setting can explain.

If you fail to slow down for an emergency vihicle what would happen?
Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle can result in three things: 1) A traffic citation; 2) A person dying or a house burning down because some idiot decided to slow down an emergency vehicle; and/or 3) The offender is automatically at fault for any traffic accident involving that emergency vehicle as a result of not yielding.
What is mean by an intelligent ambulance which controls traffic lights?
It is probably a reference to a system which (if it is installed) "reads" signals from authorized emergency vehcles (law enforcement, EMS or FD) and automatically changes the intersection traffic lights to favor the direction in which the emergency vehicle is travelling.
When approaching or being approached by an emergency vehicle with its siren and or lights on?
all traffic, in either direction, must slow down, pull to the right of the road, and stop until the emergency vehicle passes

What if your vehicle is in a traffic emergency and may collide with another vehicle if you do not take action Which of these is a good rule to remember at such a time?
To stay calm and relax
When approaching or being approached by an emergency vehicle with its siren andor lights on?
all traffic, in either direction, must slow down, pull to the right of the road, and stop until the emergency vehicle passes
What should you do if you hear a siren close by but cannot see where the emergency vehicle is?
If you hear a siren close by but cannot see the emergency vehicle you should follow the law in your jurisdiction, which generally is to pull over safely until you are able to determine that you are not in its path.When being approached by an emergency vehicle using sirens and light/s, state laws in the U.S. generally require motorists to immediately pull to the right side of the road and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass. If stopped at an intersection with two-way traffic, remain stopped until the emergency vehicle passes.
In what instance must a driver yield the right of way when a green signal is displayed on a traffic light?
To any vehicle already in the intersection, to pedestrians, and to emergency vehicles with emergency equipment operating.
How does a person determine what vehicles are considered emergency vehicles?
An emergency vehicle is any vehicle that is authorized to respond to an emergency. Most emergency response vehicles are easy to see and hear because they are fitted with visual and audible warning devices.
What does it mean when police put red flares along the road?
A flashing red light on an emergency vehicle means stop. A flashing blue light means that the emergency vehicle is authorized to treat red traffic lights as being yellow, drive on an emergency use only lane on a highway, and disobey the speed limit.
