Which type of vehicle always has the right-of-way when its lights or sirens are active?

Emergency vehicles with flashing lights or sirens signal a response that must be given priority by other drivers and road users. When you encounter one, slow down, move to the right edge of the roadway if you can safely do so, and stop if needed, waiting until the emergency vehicle has passed and the way is clear. This immediate clearance helps responders reach the scene quickly and reduce risk to everyone involved. Regular cars, bicycles, and pedestrians do not automatically have this priority; they should yield to the emergency vehicle and not block its path.
