One of the most important parts of approaching an intersection is sight. It is important for an emergency vehicle driver to take the time to clearly see the intersection and immediate hazards. The driver must ask for the right of way rather than demanding it because an emergency vehicle isn’t always as noticeable as it might seem. Studies show that while 96% of pedestrians hear sirens well enough to identify the direction of travel, only 24% of motorists are able to do the same. Emergency vehicle drivers must make sure they are seen. Having a system for approaching and intersection is key to safety. This video illustrates On Q’s system for intersection safety.
