3. Movement of vehicles with special signals
3.1. Drivers of operational vehicles, while performing an urgent official task, may deviate from the requirements of sections 8 (except for traffic controller signals), 10-18, 26, 27 and clause 28.1 of these Rules, provided that the blue or red flashing beacon and special sound signal are turned on and road safety is ensured. If there is no need for additional attention of road users, the special sound signal may be turned off.
3.2. In the event of approach of a vehicle with a blue flashing beacon and (or) special sound signal turned on, drivers of other vehicles that may create an obstacle to its movement are obliged to give way to it and ensure unhindered passage of the specified vehicle (and vehicles accompanied by it).
On vehicles moving in an accompanied convoy, the low beam headlights must be turned on.
If on such a vehicle the flashing beacons of blue and red or only red color are turned on, drivers of other vehicles are obliged to stop at the right edge of the roadway (on the right shoulder). On a road with a dividing strip, this requirement must be fulfilled by drivers of vehicles moving in the same direction.
3.3. If during the escort of a convoy of vehicles on the vehicle moving ahead of the convoy, the flashing beacons of blue and red or only red color are turned on, the convoy must be closed by a vehicle with green or blue and green flashing beacons turned on, after the passage of which restrictions on the movement of other vehicles are canceled.
3.4. It is prohibited to overtake and pass vehicles with flashing beacons of blue and red or only red color and green or blue and green color and vehicles accompanied by them (convoy), as well as to move along adjacent lanes at the speed of the convoy or take a place in the convoy.
3.5. Approaching a stationary vehicle with a blue flashing beacon and special sound signal (or without a special sound signal turned on), standing on the shoulder (near the roadway) or on the roadway, the driver must reduce speed to 40 km/h and, if the traffic controller gives an appropriate signal, stop. You can continue driving only with the permission of the traffic controller.
