What should you do if you are in an intersection and you hear a siren?

When you hear a siren while in an intersection, the appropriate action is to drive through the intersection safely and then pull over to the right side of the road to stop. This response ensures that you are not obstructing emergency vehicles that may be responding to a call. It’s important to remain cautious and aware of the surroundings as you proceed through the intersection, ensuring that you do so without causing further hazards. After clearing the intersection, moving to the right side allows you to safely stop and let the emergency vehicle pass.

The other options, such as stopping immediately in the intersection or speeding up to clear the intersection, can create danger by blocking the path for the emergency vehicle or potentially causing an accident. Ignoring the siren and continuing to drive is not just unsafe, but it also violates traffic laws, as emergency vehicles require precedence on the road.
