Lesson 25 of 59 · Dutch traffic rules

Sirens on a road with a bus lane Sirene op de busbaan

De regel · The rule

Blue lights and a siren: make way. Where there is a bus lane, emergency vehicles often use it: keep your lane, never swerve into it.

RVV 1990 art. 50

Why this rule exists

Seconds count for an ambulance. A calm, predictable driver helps it more than one who brakes hard or swerves.
