## driving tip 

If you are stopped at an intersection and you are blocking the path of the emergency vehicle, you may have to turn the corner to get out of the way.

## Public transit buses 

## see 

Watch for buses that have stopped  — they may block your view of pedestrians about to cross the street, or they may be about to pull into traffic. 

## think 

Know the rules  — you must allow a public transit bus that is signalling and displaying a yield‑to‑bus sign to move out from the curb lane or a bus stop. This rule applies to all roads where the speed limit is 60 km/h or lower. 

## do 

## Space margins and speed control 

Change lanes to let a bus pull out if there is space in the next lane, or slow down if you can’t change lanes safely. 

## Emergency vehicles 

Emergency vehicles include police cars, ambulances and fire trucks. 

## see 

Listen for sirens and watch for flashing lights  — look to see where the emergency vehicle is coming from. Once the vehicle has passed, watch and listen because there may be others. 

## think 

Know the rules  — emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights and sirens always have the right‑of‑way. All traffic moving in both directions must stop. (Exception: if you are on a divided highway and the emergency vehicle is approaching on the other side of the median, you may not need to stop. Make sure that it would be impossible for the emergency vehicle to move onto your side of the highway.) 

Clear a path  — don’t block the path of emergency vehicles. Usually the best thing to do is pull over to the right and stop (or to the left if you’re driving in the left lane of a divided highway or on a one‑way street). Do not stop in an intersection. Think well ahead, and have a plan in mind to create a path for the emergency vehicle. 

It is illegal to drive over a fire hose.
