The special warning signals with BLUE colour light, together with the sound ones, oblige you to give priority, and in order to give priority you must reduce the travelling speed and drive as close as possible to the edge of the road, in the direction of travel, more exactly as close as possible to the curb or to the shoulder from the right side.
In the situation in which, for giving priority, it is necessary also to stop, you must do it. A good example would be the intersections in which stopping is needed in order to be able to give priority to these motor vehicles with a priority traffic regime.
It must be known that these motor vehicles with a priority traffic regime are allowed to use the light signals without being accompanied by the sound ones, depending on the nature of the mission or on the traffic conditions, a situation in which the respective motor vehicle does not have a priority traffic regime. But the opposite situation, to use only the sound signals without being accompanied by the light ones, is not allowed to them.
