When two vehicles with priority traffic status (for example, police, firefighters, ambulance or forensic medicine) meet in an intersection and both are moving on a mission having the luminous and sound signals in operation, priority is given to the vehicle that moves from the right side. This rule applies regardless of the type of vehicles involved, whether they are vehicles of the police, firefighters, the ambulance service or forensic medicine, or other vehicles with priority traffic status that move on a mission having the luminous and sound signals in operation. The principle is simple and is based on the general priority rule “right‑hand priority”, which is one of the fundamental traffic rules in intersections.
Priority is not given according to the type of vehicle (police, ambulance, etc.) or the colour of the luminous signals with which they are equipped (red or blue), but according to its position in relation to the other vehicle at the entrance to the intersection, thus priority is given to the vehicle that moves from the right side.
