When on streets designed for two-way traffic, you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle, what does the law require you to do?

Speed up and get out of the way.
Signal the driver to pass.
Pull to the right as far as possible and stop.
Continue on the same speed.

The correct answer is: Pull to the right as far as possible and stop.

When you hear the siren of an emergency vehicle on streets designed for two-way traffic, the law requires you to pull to the right as far as possible and stop. This action is crucial for ensuring that emergency vehicles can navigate through traffic quickly and safely, allowing them to reach their destinations, such as medical emergencies or fires, without unnecessary delays. Pulling to the right creates a clear path for the emergency vehicle, reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing the overall safety of all road users. Stopping helps prevent confusion and allows the emergency vehicle to maneuver around you without encountering unexpected changes in speed or direction from other drivers. This required action helps to facilitate a quick response from emergency services, which can be vital during critical situations. Maintaining a consistent speed or attempting to signal the driver to pass is not appropriate in emergency situations, as it can obstruct the vehicle's progress and lead to potentially dangerous scenarios.
