Are there speed limits for ambulances?
1 Answers
When performing tasks, ambulances have no speed limit requirements as long as safety is ensured. When not performing tasks, there are speed limit requirements. According to legal regulations: police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles can use sirens and warning lights when performing emergency tasks; under the premise of ensuring safety, they are not restricted by driving routes, directions, speeds, or traffic signals, and other vehicles and pedestrians should yield. When police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles are not performing emergency tasks, they cannot use sirens or warning lights and do not enjoy the road priority rights mentioned above. Penalties for obstructing ambulances: obstructing the passage of emergency vehicles such as fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles, and police cars will result in a warning or fine; in severe cases, detention of 5 to 10 days may be imposed.
