Disregard the signal if there are other lanes available for the emergency vehicle.

Stop as quickly as you can.

Slow down, move your vehicle to provide a clear path for the emergency vehicle, and stop.

Before changing lanes, you should activate your turn signal in the appropriate direction and check your rearview and side mirrors.

Change lanes when you are sure it is safe to do so.

Require longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.

Require less time to pass on a downgrade than smaller vehicles do.

Require a smaller turning radius than smaller vehicles do.

Require less time to pass on an incline than smaller vehicles do.

Because of their size, trucks need longer distances to stop than smaller vehicles do.
