If an emergency vehicle is approaching on a one-way road, what should you do?

When an emergency vehicle approaches on a one-way road, the appropriate action is to move to the right side only if traffic allows. This is because it creates a clear and safe path for the emergency vehicle to pass. You should proceed with caution to ensure that the movement does not impede other vehicles or create unsafe conditions. If the traffic situation allows for it, moving to the right helps maintain flow while ensuring that the emergency vehicle can navigate through the roadway more easily.

Remaining in your lane does not facilitate the safe passage of the emergency vehicle and could lead to delays or accidents. Stopping immediately in your lane may cause confusion and could lead to rear-end collisions if other drivers are not expecting a sudden stop. Moving to the left would not be appropriate since it does not clear the path in a one-way scenario, where the flow of traffic is limited to one direction. By shifting to the right with caution, you effectively balance the need to assist emergency responders while ensuring safety for yourself and other road users.
