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 driving speed and drive as close as possible to the edge of the road, in the direction of travel, more precisely as close as possible to the curb or to the shoulder on the right side.
In case that, 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 priority traffic regime.
It must be known that these motor vehicles with 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 priority traffic regime. But the inverse situation, to use only the sound signals without being accompanied by the light ones, is not allowed.
Answer B is incorrect, because the driving speed must not be increased, but must be reduced, according to the articles of the road legislation updated to date, which can be found on this page, a little lower.
Answer C is incorrect, because the immediate stopping, on the shoulder or, in its absence, as close as possible to the edge of the road or to the curb of the sidewalk, in the direction of travel, is mandatory at the special warning signals with RED colour light, together with the sound ones. In the present case the question refers to the motor vehicles which have in operation the special warning means with blue colour light, together with the sound ones.
