Drivers of vehicles who have an emergency, regardless of its type, are NOT excepted from the prohibition imposed by the sign “Horn prohibited”.
When encountering the sign “Horn prohibited” the drivers of motor vehicles with priority traffic regime are allowed to use sound warning devices when they are moving in intervention actions or in missions that have an emergency character, but they are not allowed to use them also in the situation in which they are not moving in such actions or interventions.
The sound warning is used whenever it is necessary, for avoiding an immediate danger. Even if on the road on which you are driving you encounter the sign “Horn prohibited”, you are excepted from the prohibition imposed by this sign and you can use the sound warning if it is used for avoiding an immediate danger.
